Except their own vaults, of course. And of course Turley will now rake in oodles of cash from Mormons by publishing his findings in a book.
Never trust a Mormon who has been hired by the Mormon Cult to come to preconceived conclusions.
Richard Turley was one of three people hired by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to examine the massacre, including the role of the former LDS Church president.
"there is not enough evidence to conclude that Brigham Young ordered the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 that killed 120 Arkansas emigrants"
Turley, the church's assistant historian, spoke Saturday at the annual meeting of the Mormon History Association.
After reviewing all of the evidence, Turley concludes that Young didn't order the massacre in southern Utah.
He says the three authors hired to do the project worked with dozens of researchers and examined documents from archives across the country looking for any evidence related to the incident.
