There is one being created. Mods are alreayd working on it. Sorry!

I think for people who want to find out the latest on the court proceedings, its going to cause alot of confusion, and time, haveing to scroll through pages and pages of stuff unrelated to the proceedings. And since this is a huge case, there is going to be ALOT more to come.

 

[Clearly Confused]

Sorry for just popping in the asking questions but I can read through all the pages and was hoping someone could help me out. TIA

Has it ever been mentioned how many boys vs girls have been taken?

I saw pictures through out the bedrooms of the same person when the wives were giving tours of the their kids bedroom. Was that Warren Jeff in all of those photos?

Hi Winter !!

27 "adolescent" aged boys were removed. As far as younger boys, no figures have been released.

And yes, those were pictures of Warren Jeff hanging in the homes. (UGH!)

FOX: Introduced into court was lists of the men, in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. Their wives were listed alongside them and some of them were 16 years old.
FLDS lawyers argued the names of the wives should be kept under seal because it's a religious matter. Judge said it is not a religious matter but of underage children.

A Lawyer for a 2 year old child: the child kept referring to the woman not as mommy but as Jane. The woman would correct the child and say "Mother Jane". The 2 year old child had no idea who the father was.

Who's hiding whom — and where?

Other FLDS enclaves are feeling scrutiny

OMG


"Former FLDS Church member Robert Richter reported to the Phoenix New Times that Warren Jeffs has repeatedly alluded to the nineteenth century Mormon teaching of "blood atonement" in church sermons. Under the doctrine of blood atonement, certain serious sins can only be atoned for by the sinner's death. Richter also claims that he was asked to design a thermostat for a high-temperature furnace that would be capable of destroying DNA evidence if such "atonements" were to take place"

Texas Attorney General hints at bigamy prosecutions

I want to bring something up that I havent read anyone else say yet. (I may have missed it though)

I'm VERY concerned about some of the volunteer attorneys for the Children. How do they prevent potential FLDS members (from other parts of the country) from representing some of these kids? I mean, if that were to happen you know that child wont get a fair trial/representation. You just know every FLDS member that is an attorney out there were on their way to Texas as soon as news of the raid hit the air.

Was CPS screening the volunteers? I can't imagine them wanting to spend too much time worrying about the background of the attorneys. Especially considering the sheer number of attorneys they were going to need for all the children.

Anyone thought of the potential problems this could cause??

Its only texas attorneys being allowed to represent the kids, and they have all been background checked etc etc.

This is slighly off topic, but interesting.

Eldorado is in Tom Green County, Texas, so the county of Tom Green* is the entity prosecuting these charges.

Tom Green is a Utah polygamist who was sentenced to 5 to life for marrying a 13 yr. old in 1986. He was tried and sentenced in 2002.

*The namesake of Tom Green County was a confederate brigadier general.

Ladybass, I thought I read somewhere the attorneys were from all over the US. I sure hope you're right though!

I hate to ask, but I've been off line all day. Can someone give me a down and dirty update of today's hearing?
