Lawrence Hughes' daughter Bethany was a devout Jehovah's Witness who came down with leukemia. Under the tenents of her religion, she refused to have a blood transfusion that her father believes could have helped save her life. She later died from the disease.

 

Now he wants his day in court, blaming the religious order and the two lawyers who represented her.

 

"I'll never give up until there's justice," a bitter Hughes relates. "What the defendants did to my daughter was despicable, cruel and criminal. If the Watchtower Society had left my daughter alone, she would have had a fighting chance to live."

 

The Society believes it's against God's wishes for one person to take blood from another. But Hughes is adamant the group has misinterpreted the scriptures and brainwashed his daughter into refusing a transfusion, even after it was ordered by the courts.
