Truth Will Prevail

On July 27, 2010, the Utah Supreme Court unanimously ruled to reverse the conviction of Warren Jeffs on two counts of rape as an accomplice and remanded the case to the 5th District Court for a retrial. The State has two weeks to seek a rehearing challenging this decision and one month to decide whether to pursue a retrial. Judge James Shumate, who presided over Mr. Jeffs’ previous trial, has scheduled a hearing on retrial for August 18 at 9 a.m. in St. George, Utah.

On July 22, 2010, at the request of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, Judge Denise Lindberg of Utah’s Third Judicial District Court held what attorneys were told was to be a telephonic status conference on issues regarding the administration of the UEP Trust, and issued an order that conferred on Special Fiduciary Bruce Wisan complete judicial authority to make whatever decisions he sees fit regarding Trust property, and even to determine what constitutes Trust property.

The recent forcible break-in at the granary managed by the Bishop’s Storehouse in Hildale, Utah, and the dumping of contaminated wheat into the community food supply clearly show the vindictive hatred and violent nature of many of those being recruited by UEP Special Fiduciary Bruce Wisan and his agents to wage “sociological and psychological warfare” against the FLDS people.

The hearing on Hilderbran’s bill held before the Committee on Juvenile Justice and Family Issues on April 13, 2005, is one of the most glaring examples in modern times of hatred and misinformation spewed forth by supposed experts to arouse prejudice and promote draconian legislation against an unpopular minority group.

In an affidavit accompanying the motion to dismiss bigamy charges against Mike Emack, Dr. John Walsh undertakes “to provide the Court with background information concerning the FLDS Church generally, and specifically the normative religious and cultural beliefs and practices of faithful FLDS practitioners.”

On March 5, 2010, attorneys for Mike Emack filed in 51st District Court a forty-seven-page motion requesting the Court to dismiss the bigamy charges against their client and challenging the constitutionality of the bigamy statute itself.
