Recap of Saturday's session. TRU-TV has people in the courtroom, who come out from time to time to report on the case. This morning they brought Jeffs in, just to ask if he still wanted to remain outside the courtroom. He refused to answer, and they led him back out again. One reporter says he looked at the judge with utter contempt. Must be hard for him to be ordered around by a woman!

Warren Jeffs pinglist--if you want on or off, let me know via freepmail.

From the article:

Jeffs' defense attorney, Deric Walpole, told the jury he would rely on the prosecution's case to let it be seen that Jeffs was, to some degree, a product of his environment and has religious reasons for his actions.

An environment he helped to create, from most accounts, but there you have it.

That pathetic troll is back in the news?

I believe Jeffs attorney has a steep uphill climb with this jury regarding Jeffs religion after them hearing those tapes, and rightfully so.

Sin. It all catches up eventually.

This is in a Texas court. The sentencing phase will not go well for the defense. It’s going to be a tough life for Jeffs from here on out.

Child rape is a religious practice protected under the Constitution?

How about human sacrifice as well? There are religions which practice that as part of their *worship*.

Protecting abominations and immorality with the cloak of religious freedom is NOT what the Founding Fathers intended, I am sure of that.

Time for Jeffs' attorney to mitigate the penalty; Lawyer: Religion to be defense

That was going to be Bin Laden's defense as well...

Apparently, Colorado City is finally getting some much-needed law enforcement attention:
