The California parents accused of imprisoning their 13 children in the family’s squalid home have plead not guilty to all charges.
Neither defendant, both dressed in dark street clothes, spoke during the proceedings, where Judge Michael Donner ordered each defendant to remain held on $12 million bail and set the next hearing in the case for February 23.
David Turpin and his wife, Louise, each face 94 years to life in prison if convicted on the more than two dozen charges that include torture, child abuse and false imprisonment.
The couple was arrested on Sunday, and the conditions in their home in Perris, California, discovered after their emaciated 17-year-old daughter climbed out of a window of the family home and called police.
