On Wednesday, Texas prosecutors rested their case after playing a key piece of evidence for jurors: an audiotape they allege documents Jeffs' sexual assault of a then-12-year-old girl in the presence of three other "wives."
One juror wiped her eyes as she listened to the recording. Another looked at Jeffs out of the corner of her eye. Still another had a hand covering her mouth.
One of the three wives is the child's mother. I do not think he's also the father of his "bride" but with this group, who knows? I think this jury will convict this guy. If only we could next convict the mothers.
One would hope he had enough humanity left to not commit biological incest (inbreeding) — wishing a host of congenital diseases and defects upon the offspring — but who knows.

You know, I don’t know why they don’t go after the women. Is it assumed that he is the cult leader and they are brainwashed thus not responsible? A woman holds down her daughter so “step-daddy” can rape her? I will say that I am glad that I am not a juror. I think I would have gotten physically ill listening to the tape. All the Lysol in the world that I could bathe in wouldn’t make me feel any more clean after that testimony.
