Data bolstering case against Jeffs

It's also going to be interesting to see whether the evidence seized at the YFZ ranch will be inadmissable in court due to the very possible illegality of how it was obtained. Which, from a Constitutional standpoint, it was. It will be sad if the actions of Texas officials, well intentioned though they may have been, prevent the prosecution of this man. The arrogance of Texas CPS actions may taint the case.
It should also be made known that many of the people who are among the original Short Creek people are not followers of Jeffs. His ascension to leadership was NOT unopposed and his actions solidifying his position and since then have not been approved by many who do accept polygamy as part of their religious beliefs.
I hope those who do believe in Mr. Jeffs begin to realize that they have been deceived--badly! And that those among them who have been guilty of the sexual exploitation of young people will be punished.
As for those who believe in polygamy among consenting adults--I don't agree, but it's not my business.
Why don't any of you write in and admit you were wrong standing up for child rapists? Texas was right all along.
Show some integrity! Now is your chance to uphold truth and justice!
glad you are amused by an old man making out with a 12 yr old. You must make your parents proud.
didn't we see you on Dateline's predator show?
What is sad is that the "evidence" has a high likelyhood of being thrown out of court due to the
method Texas used to sieze it.
The reality is that Jeffs is in jail and is no threat to anyone. Two 5-25 year consecutive sentences have eliminated physical contact with any children.
What is a shame is that the children are threatened by the State two years after the man was locked up.
You said a mouthful amberrose..........they went for the trust money and property and are now using every excuse to get Jeffs.........can't get in the place with legal means so go in on a fake call.
They risk loseing the whole case and it would serve the keystone cops right.
