FLDS lawyers to question Texas authorities

Doran, did you notice that these buildings were multi-family units? Did it bother you at all to know that you were searching and seizing from numerous homes without the requisite warrants or the necessary individualized probable cause?

Good ole Flora the mouth tried to avoid the deposition........now Doran gets his turn to answer a few questions.

How many times will the gruesome twosome take the fifth. We all know that they have the right not to answer incriminating questions but hey.........must mean thay are guilty.

Where have we heard that before Flora.

Anon, you say you tried to post an "article". That's probably the issue. The problem may have been the length of the comment you tried to post, not the content. There is a limit of 200 words on posts.

They won't tell the truth | 6:50 p.m. Nov. 23, 2008

They can't tell the truth, they will incriminate themselves and pave the way for huge civil suits. They broke a multitude of laws in their raid on the FLDS. "We have nothing to hide," the sheriff told the Deseret News. "We'll discuss whatever topic." Oh no, they won't. They will plead the fifth and they will lie. There is no way they can legally justify their actions. They abused those people and their rights and they should go to jail for it. Doran has lied from the start about this matter.

nothing will come of this. why waste the time?

Look at the pics | 4:33 p.m. Dec. 1, 2008

FLDS attorneys hold up a large arial photo of the ranch and its dozens of buildings, homes, shops school, dairy, medical center etc and say "Where is the doors of this single residence?"

What part of the physical description given you, made you suspect "Sarah", or any other child, could be small enough to fit inside a computer or safe? Why do you consider financial records necessary to find Sarah?."

"To your knowledge, have your "inside informants" ever been inside the gates before the raid?"

"Does it take longer than the 3 days you prepared to go into the ranch trace a cell phone call? What made you think the man who identified himself as Dale Barlow was not Dale Barlow?"

Re: Look at.

You have brought up a heck of a point. It would seem that the outcome of the raid was predetermined and no amount of reasonable explanation would have prevented the assault.

Kinda reminds you of the weapons of mass destruction explanation for another situation....

Now we have the same situation as before the raid. Jeffs is in jail and most of the pregnant teens are attributed to him. The core leadership is charged with a few unconstitutional laws and not a single pregnant teen points to a single FLDS man as the father.
Time for the "immaculate conception defense". Turkey basters are such versital kitchen tools.
