UPDATE:

Today is June 14, 2014 and I am searching for updates on Jonathan's story and here is the information I found:

In April of 2013, Aaron Ramsey, who was 35 years old at the time, having been found guilty of injuring a child, was sentenced to life in prison after the jury took only 20 minutes to deliberate. I like to think they took one minute and then sat around drinking a soda for the other 19 minutes.

Again I will say, I do not understand being able to be convicted for injury to a child, when the child is dead, that is NOT an injury that is a permanent condition, until they reach Heaven and are once again alive.

I am unable to find information on Elizabeth's trial or sentencing at this time.

UPDATE:

Today is July 23, 2014 and I have just received an update on Johnathan's story.

On July 22, 2014, Elizabeth Ramsey, who was 33 years old at the time, was found guilty of starving Johnathan to death and dumping his body into the creek. The jury took only 30 minutes to deliberate and convict Elizabeth. Elizabeth was facing up to 99 years in prison and today is the day the sentencing phase of this trial starts. Of course the Defense lawyers were asking for a lesser charge for Elizabeth and said that she was forced by Aaron to help in the abuse Johnathan went through:


Paul said that Aaron had admitted that he refused to allow Elizabeth to get help by calling 911, in order to save Johnathan's life.

Prosecutors in the case laid equal blame on each parent:


The Medical Examiner testified in court that after a very long time without food, a child's heart will slow to the point that they are incapable of moving very much:


It was said in court that Aaron ramsey was not the only one to hide the abuse the Johnathan was going through since Elizabeth was home and had full knowledge what was going on every time she passed the door that held Johnathan in a prison that was locked from the outside:


Site creators note: I don't often talk about my own life while telling the stories of these little Angels. In this instance I am going to share an experience I had in 2010. I have Crohn's Disease and in 2010, I was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer. I had an Oncologist who had a big ego and thought she knew it all, though I didn't know it at the time, she was not all that wonderful. I ended up having my Thyroid completely removed by a surgeon. After they remove your Thyroid, you have to go through a lot. You go on a sodium free diet for as long as it takes for your sodium levels to drop to an acceptable level so that they can give you a Radioactive pill to take. After that pill, you go home and stay locked away from everyone for several days. Then you close that room for seven days and every inch of the room has to be scrubbed and cleaned. During the diet part of this process, before I was given the Radioactive therapy, I got very sick with my Crohn's disease and was not able to eat much. I could eat one half of a popsicle or one bite of chicken, just as an example. My body was rejecting everything and I ended up losing 65 pounds in three weeks, yes, I said 65 pounds in three weeks.

During that time, I was so weak and tired all the time. I could walk LITERALLY five feet and then lay down and take a nap for a couple of hours, I slept more in that time than I ever had. My Oncologist just kept telling me that she couldn't help the diet I had to be on and if I wasn't happy with her, I was welcome to go to another Doctor and her words were "If you want to go to another Doctor, I'll be fine, I have plenty of patients".

Finally, my husband talked me in to going to my family doctor who IMMEDIATELY admitted me to the hospital and informed me that if I had not gone in to see him, I probably would have died within two days. I had ZERO potassium in my body, I was dehydrated and malnourished to the point that my organs were shutting down. I stayed only about 18 hours in the hospital, however, during that time I was given EIGHT bags of fluid as well as liquid supplements, vitamins and things along that line. The short stay was due to my telling him that our insurance would only cover about 50% of the hospital stay because they were not in our network. He allowed me to go home, but with strict instructions that I followed to the letter.

When I read stories about children who are starved to death, I know what agony they go through before they actually die and my heart aches for them in a way that I can't explain. It's so horrible to hear that someone who is trusted with a precious gift from God, will treat them so badly, not caring about their suffering. I will never be able to understand it.

Thank you goes out to Terri for sending me this update.


UPDATE: January 27, 2015

In April of 2013, Aaron Ramsey was sentenced to life in prison after a jury deliberated for less than and hour and found him guilty and then took less than 20 minutes to sentence him.

In July of 2014 Elizabeth Ramsey was found guilty in the death of Johnathan and though Defense Lawyers had asked for a lesser charge, a jury took an hour sentence her life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.
