I don't want to use my real name, but I need help! I've been locked in a tower, and I'm not even allowed to cut my hair. Is there someone in Texas that can come to my rescue? There is a small window in the highest room in the tallest tower. I think my hair is long enough to reach the ground. If you are a Texas Ranger, please come to my compound, and state that a judge has signed a warrant. I will let my hair down, and you can climb up to rescue me.
Please, oh please help me!
These people in Texas were just waiting for something like this. I remember when these people moved to Texas, I don't think that they liked it at all, Texas LEO was just waiting for a chance like this even though it was called in by someone who doesn't even exist in the compound. By the way. How come we haven't heard anything about the men in the compound? Where are they through all of this? It looks like the women are the only ones trying to get their children back. I also thought that the first comment was pretty commical.
I thought nearly all the comments were ridiculous. "'Sarah' is a symbol?" So is Meisner, now. Anyone notice something else odd? Meisner, Palmer, Walther
and Swinton -- everyone responsible for this flub-up...are women! If we dig a little deeper, think we might find Janet Reno on the bottom of the pile?
Just read another story about a guy locked up in Texas for 27 years on FALSE WITNESS.
Finally got out after DNA proved him innocent.
Texas seems to have the record for not guilty people in jail.
Judge Walther said, "It's not a perfect system, but I don't think that we have a perfect system for this sort of thing."
Boy! That's saying a mouthful!
And now the state of Texas, and its all too IMperfect child protective service system, is "protecting" the children.
The law suits against the Texas authorities by the parents and, in time, the children, will be keeping many an attorney very busy for the next few years.
Has anybody ever heard of the legal doctrine of "inevitable discovery"? The search warrant may be flawed, but evidence under "inevitable discovery" might be allowed. Is it being suggested here that these pedophiles should go free?? Usually, writers in the comment section are usually lamenting the flaws in the law that allow criminals to get off. I guess there is more sympathy in Utah for polygamists than anybody realized.
