Warren Jeffs Defends Polygamy During Outburst at Sexual Assault Trial

[SecularMotion]

After spending hours in silence at his trial, polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs suddenly cried, "I object!" in court Friday afternoon, launching into a passionate sermon defending the "tradition" of polygamy, a practice he considers the will of God.

Jeffs , the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a radical offshoot of mainstream Mormonism, is charged with two counts of sexual assault of a child, spurred by a 2008 raid.

He's accused of sexually assaulting two underage girls in his sect and forcing them both into a "spiritual marriage."

The charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. He faces a separate trial on a bigamy charge in October.

1. He fucks young girls and calls it marriage??? He is a pervert idiot

2. I don't care about bigamy.....just should not include underage girls and boys

or non disclosure...ie...someone married not telling a person they are marrying they are already married...other than that if 3, 5, 7,...(you know the next number) consenting ADULTS want to marry...who gives a s**t?

4. For one thing they use it to scam the welfare system

and for another how would you file your income tax forms??

Mormons are against two people getting married but they don't mind if
15 people marry each other.........

3. I could not care less about how many wives or husbands he or anyone else has...

...as long as everyone is of the legal age of consent and does consent.

In Jeff's case, however, pure and simple ~~ he is a child rapist.

6. Killing John Lennon was the "will of god". This guy prefers child rape - must worship the same god.
