Just when I thought I had heard the end of the saga of Warren Jeffs, and how it's okay, in his religion, to sexually abuse underage girls, he comes up with something new! Now he wants to appeal his guilty verdict because the incident that drew law enforcement's attention to him was a questionable tip from another state. The problem is this: that tip had nothing to do with Jeffs. It was about someone else. The evidence discovered that concerned Jeffs was merely coincidental, and since it involved a couple of children, had to be investigated. There was nothing unlawful about it. What WAS unlawful, was Jeffs's relationships with some of the children.
If the people in Warren Jeffs's "church" (maybe "cult" is a better word?) really think that part of a religious upbringing is teaching young girls to expect and welcome abuse, maybe they should consider teaching their men, such as Jeffs, that if you can't do the time, you shouldn't do the crime! While molesting children may be part of Jeffs's religion, it's against just about everyone else's.
