Shurtleff said Texas has agreed to share the evidence, once it finishes with the trials of the remaining FLDS members charged in connection with underage marriages.

Now THERE is a weasel statement if I ever saw one. < scoff >

Bravo for the jurors in Texas, who gave this devil life plus 20 years! How shameful that Utah covered up this well-known pedophile’s crimes against children.

1.7 billion pages??? At 3,000 pages per foot, that would be approximately 107 miles of documents.

Warren Jeffs...prophet and god? Not in Texas!

Warren being prepped for introductions to his new "compound mates" at Huntsville!

What should anybody expect from a Godless cult.

How is it that (so called) mainstream lds continue to make excuses (defending) the pedophilia going on in the flds? Is it because if they do not make excuses (defend) for flds then they must condemn Joseph Smith for his pedophilia? Seriously, if you hang your hat on a guy who is a known pedophile as the founder of your belief system, then you have to admit you were deceived.

You know, I’ve had several Mormonism based polygamists as neighbors. They are such good people, very quiet and keep to themselves, law abiding and very, very socially conservative. They are strong defenders of gun rights. I just can’t understand why everybody is picking on them....they’ve been persecuted, targeted and hated for YEARS!

And you forgot polygamy and pedophilia are old testament Biblical /s/

[DannyTN]

13!? how many more does he need to catch Joseph Smith?

They deserve their "freedom of religion" and the freedom to worship in their own way....[those little girls soon "get over it" and appreciate the opportunity to rise to the "celestial kingdom" as "worthy" servants of the lord!]

61And again, as pertaining to the law of the priesthood—if any man espouse a virgin, and desire to espouse aanother, and the first give her consent, and if he espouse the second, and they are virgins, and have vowed to no other man, then is he justified; he cannot commit adultery for they are given unto him; for he cannot commit adultery with that that belongeth unto him and to no one else. Joseph Smith.

LDS Doctrine and Covenants, 132:61

Oh yes, how could I have forgotten THAT! Sheesh...

[colorcountry]

Is it so wrong to threaten a child with damnation if they don't have sex with you?

[Doe Eyes]

Where us pedophilia mentioned in the Bible?

[Dr. Scarpetta]

"I think the same crimes will continue," Jessop said. "I think the only way that can change is if law enforcement in Utah and Arizona will actually enforce the law down there."

BTTT!

Hence, the sarcasm marker.

I think we need in this day & age some mock trials, convicting both Joseph Smith & Brigham Young & other Lds leaders, in abstentia.

We already have a Joseph Smith conviction on "glass looking" -- a charge essentially part of the flim-flams of his day. Smith could be charged with multiple counts of bigamy...destruction of property (Nauvoo Expositor)...smuggling of two weapons into a jail cell...predatory rape upon a minor by a person in spiritual authority...(16 yo Lucy Walker -- without consent of her father...her mother was dead)

Young: Bigamy & Accessory after the fact of Mountain Meadow Massacre; numerous other roles in murders, including Utah acts of war upon U.S. calvary; etc.

[Terry Mross]

I can only think of two differences between the “L” DS and the “F” LDS.

One openly follows Joseph Smiths original teachings.

Hmmmmm....I can’t think of the other one.

[Terry Mross]

There are at least two reasons why prosecution of mainstream LDS won’t happen.

Reid and Hatch

I think we need in this day & age some mock trials, convicting both Joseph Smith & Brigham Young & other Lds leaders, in abstentia.

Don't forget:

• The Kirtland Safety Society fraud
  
• Numerous statutory rape charges
  
• The robbery, arson, murder and jailbreak charges in Missouri
  
• The attempted assassination of Governor Lilburn Boggs
  
• The blood atonement actions of the Danites, Nauvoo Legion, and Mormon Militia - including battery, genital mutilation and murder
  
• The post 14th Amendment slavery of thousands of Saints indentured to the Permanent Immigration Fund
  
• Counterfeiting
  
• The Mountain Meadows Massacre
  
• Sedition - in Missouri, Illinois and Utah
  
• The murder of dozens of soldiers in the Utah War of 1857, and in the events leading up to it
  
• Judicial corruption; and
  
• The murder of thousands of Indians and theft of their property

These are just off the top of my head at the moment. I am confident that I can think of many other crimes given a little more time and motivation. Nevertheless, I think you get my point.
