Can you imagine being an FLDS member and having to bust your rear end just to pay the legal bills of what may be a child rapist? In any other religion, most people wouldn't put up with this.

Not all people who commit crimes get snagged by the justice system and if Warren Jeffs did what he seems to have done, it will be a shame if he walks. With three states on his case, one would hope he'll spend life in prison somewhere.

If this case gets overturned, it would be a terrible injustice. Jeffs has committed crimes against children. But don't worry, if something happens in Utah, Arizona and Texas will make sure he doesn't walk.

This man has finally admitted to the world that he is a false prophet. What he did was out of complete selfishness and desire for power--total unrighteous dominion. He is a criminal and needs to be kept where he can't hurt anyone else.

still milking the Devil, of course to him, that would be Uncle Sam's money from us tax payers and he would still attempt to do so in years to come with the help of his silly lawyers. No wonder our justice system is so back-logged and such a big mess...

Why does jeffs and gang always smile for the camera mug shot?

Bet that smile is gone now.

And all his appeal points are pretty much wishful thinking, what the heck he can afford attorneys errr shortcreeekers can afford attorneys, just keep throwing things up against the wall and see what sticks.

This couldn't possibly be all the comments on this guy? Wow, the comments coming in must be offensive and bad just like the man, Jeffs! I think this man is a total degenerate.

he has the right to appeal just as all criminals do

Wow! Jeffs marries a minor to an adult but he doesn't expect that the marriage will be consummated until she reaches 18 years old!!!

What is it his lawyers don't understand about statutory rape?

it is a sad state of affairs when the date has to explain the birds and bees to women whose last purpose in life is to please men

I have NO sympathy for the devil!
Jeffs loves the courtroom | 3:38 p.m. Dec. 4, 2008
This brings him back to court drama in 3 states. Oh perhaps federal charges too heh.

Lessee - he must have a pretty good income to float all those pesky cotton pickin attorneys. But, I cant think of anything better to spend flds millions and millions on.

Sometimes you have to make a point even if it costs you your NOSE when you cut it OFF to SPITE your FACE.
