Black mother charged in son's oil-and-vinegar death

A black mother who thought her son was possessed by a demon forced him to ingest oil and vinegar three times, then held his mouth shut for 10 minutes. Latisha Lawson says that by then 3-year-old Jezaih King had stopped struggling. Lawson also allegedly forced her daughter Kierra King, 10, to drink the mixture, but the little girl vomited. After Jezaih’s death in November 2009, Lawson, 31, had her daughter pray over his body, then allegedly wrapped it in a blanket and put it in a closet for nearly a year. Police made the gruesome discovery in December 2010.
