A leader of a Baltimore cult was convicted of murder Tuesday after police say she convinced a woman to starve her 16 month old son to death because he would not say “amen” before dinner.

“Queen Antoinette”, her daughter Trevia Williams and Marcus Cobbs were found guilty Wednesday of second degree murder and child abuse resulting in death for the murder of 16-month old Javon Thompson.

The mother of the dead child testified Wednesday that she followed orders to starve her toddler son, even though it "didn't feel right," to rid him of a demon that she believed her own mother placed there by offering the boy to the devil.

There was a "strong possibility" that he was possessed by an "evil spirit," Ria Ramkissoon, 23, told a Baltimore jury in describing Javon Thompson's last days, which began one morning when he refused to say "amen" after prayer. It was the only word he knew other than "mommy."

The cultists defended themselves, called no witnesses and face up to 60-years in prison and will be sentenced in May, 2010.
