trouble for texas?
on april 17, william morrison, an attorney whose clients have included members of numerous polygamous sects, pointed out on the diane rehm show that according to court documents, “sarah barlow” claimed to have been beaten so badly by her husband that she was hospitalized with broken ribs. “we’ve got a search warrant based on an anonymous telephone call, that can be independently verified, and we haven’t seen the verification yet. … we don’t know that any of this has happened, because the person has not been proven to be a reliable informant.”
now, according to this cnn article, a pre-paid cell phone that was used by “sarah barlow” in one of the calls that precipitated the raid on the FLDS ranch has been linked to a woman recently arrested for making false reports of sexual abuse to the police.
coincidence?

There will be a huge backlash and I wouldn’t want to be the person in the way. I think they should have investigated a little more where the call was coming from befpre they invaded the compound.
They had arrested the leader a very long ago and they knew then what was going on why didn’t they act then? They had every reason to do so and they did not I just do not get it at all.
But there will be a huge backlash.

Ohh this is gretting good. The state had to do something. not to have gone out would be negligent especially in light of trhe known knowns about the jailed fruitcake leader and known unknowns about what may or may not have been going on out there. what we dont know are the state’s known knowns about the case b/c, well they are telling us, pending criminal charges to be filed or not. When asked a direct question to the effect of, “do you allow sexual relations between your children and adult men?” a female FLDS woman replied, after pausing, “all that we do with our children is based on love.” You will notice that is not a denial. Odd.
May my 11th level dwarven fighter protect all children in most places.
