Self-help guru James Arthur Ray's trial begins in sweat lodge deaths
Opening statements began Tuesday in the trial of self-help author and speaker James Arthur Ray, who is charged with three counts of reckless manslaughter in the death of three people at an Arizona sweat lodge.
The trial stems from a well-publicized incident that took place during a ceremony at a five-day retreat in Sedona, Arizona, on October 8, 2009. Two people died during the ceremony at Angel Valley Retreat Center. A third died nine days later, and - authorities allege - at least 15 others fell ill.
Ray faces up to 10 years in prison on each count. His attorney has argued that the author is not to blame for the deaths.

but oprah is always right
If you can't stand the heat, stay outta the sweat lodge.
Darwinism in action.
No sweat
It's an interesting legal question, the extent to which Ray is or isn't responsible for the deaths. You could argue either side. The victims signed up for it, but he got them very dehydrated and weak and pressured them to stay in the sweatlodge.
Tooty u r right that they did sign up for it but did they sign up to die
Lock him up...in a sweat lodge in solitary and watch him croak.
What's a sweet lodge? I want one.
SWEAT IT UP PEEPS
Leave him alone...he's just taking advantage of idiots...more oxygen for the rest of us.
Leave Oprah out of this... Did these people not know the risks?
It's gettin hawt in here
He deserves every bit of punishment he gets
Give him the 30 yrs allowed cause all he is a con man who preyed on the weakness of those people who thought they were gettin help
Ms. Karas and Ms. Hayes, quite frankly, pardon the pun, I never heard of this guy, and cannot figure out why someone would be charged with reckless manslaugter (murder), that would purportedly is there to try and better someone else. Is the prosecutions key evidence that weak, even with two immunity witnesses, that nothing could be pubished? This person is quite confident he's innocent. He will probably be running the sttreets by Friday. 😉
grur james thought he had a secret.&money n hand.God n heaven laughed.& showed the world there is no secret.James thought he had a peace of God lol
MARLA, WELL SAID.. HATE TO SEE HIM SO SAD IN THE PHOTO THOUGH. HE LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE PUPPY.
