Warren Jeffs, self proclaimed prophet of God, had his conviction over turned because of a supposed technical error. I have lived in Utah for the majority of my life, so I am familiar with polygamy. What I simply do not get is how okay with this sick practice people are. I am talking of coarse of men who marry children, if an adult woman wants to share her husband that is not as bad. As long as the "sister wives" are not committing welfare fraud.
What really bothers me about this is not only will this man get away with damaging the life of a young woman. He will come out looking like the victim. Part of the problem is that the LDS church has remained silent on this subject. Sure they ended the practice, but they have yet to come out against men like Jeffs, Green, and Kingston.
I find this further troubling in light of all the work they put into ending prop 8 in California. The church claimed that grown men and women wishing to be in a relationship was bad for the family; yet they remain silent about the horrible abuse going on right here in Utah.
Texas better get it's act together or the horrors doled out by this pedophile will never be punished.
