Also in the news today: Evil mormons... Warren Jeffs, leader of the polygamous FLDS cult was sentenced to five-years-to-life for his role in the arranged marriage of teenagers. This sentence was meted out in Utah. He faces other, similar, charges in Arizona.
I think 5-years-to-life is pretty vague, don't you? He can be out in five years? Sheesh.
Other interesting things to note: Jeffs attempted suicide while awaiting trial. He also released a statement while in jail saying he was "immoral" with a sister and daughter when he was younger, and calling himself the "one most wicked men on the face of the Earth since father Adam's time." Sounds like someone is trying to earn himself a pity party and a bit of sympathy because--suddenly--he's remorseful, eh? (And doesn't admitting to perceived incest ALWAYS earn you a sympathy vote?)
Either way, the score now stands as: Evil polygamist mormons-0; Us normal folks-1
(Incidentally, when I don't capitalize "mormon," my Firefox spell check calls it misspelled. And the first suggestion it gives me for the correct spelling? "Moron." Right on, Firefox, right on.)

I was so glad to hear about his conviction...but he wasn't even convicted of polygamy. Do you know what the status on that is?
I don't know if he was ever charged with it - I've only heard about the "marrying of minors" and whatnot. Perhaps he's charged with actual polygamy in Arizona??
