James Ray was arrested on Wednesday after the grand jury charged him with three counts of manslaughter. He is guilty of killing three participants at the Arizona sweatlodge last year. The Yavapai County Sheriff said that Ray was arrested at his attorney's office, Wednesday afternoon. He will be housed at the Camp Verde Detention Center and his bond has been set at $5 million. Ray has been charged for the deaths of James Shore, Kirby brown and Liz Neuman. Ray's attorney says that the charges were unjust he also said "this was a terrible accident--but it was an accident, not a criminal act." Ray's attorney tried to convince people that there was no way this accident could have been foreseen.
From this article, I don't know how they can blame James Ray for the deaths of these people. If the people weren't feeling well, they should have taken themselves out of the sweatlodge. I'm not exactly sure what happened in the sweatlodge becuase it doesn't explain in the article but it sounds like it was an ordinary set up with hot rocks and water to create steam. I haven't been in one before but i have been in a sauna and you certainly shouldn't be in one for two hours or even close to that amount of time. I think that was their biggest mistake, they stayed in the sweatlodge for too long. I'm wondering why it is Ray's fault. Apparently Ray is known for teaching people how to create wealth from all aspects of their life, he doesn't seem like the kind of person that would kill people but i guess you never know.
