The case is State v Hickman and the questions presented are:
(1) Do Article I, section 2, and Article I, section 3, of the Oregon Constitution prohibit criminal prosecutions for religiously based practices resulting in a prohibited criminal result, on less than a "knowing" mental state?
(2) Is faith healing a religious practice protected under Meltebeke v. BOLI, 322 Or 132, 903 P2d 351 (1995), or is it merely an act motivated by belief?
