Looks like, just like his hero Joseph Smith, he will get away with raping young girls.
The Joseph Smith legacy lives on!
It is my province to teach to the Church what the doctrine is. It is your province to echo what I say or to remain silent.

I wish, Jersey Girl, you were lying--this one time.

I am speechless.

That is EXACTLY what I thought when I heard it in the car on my way home.

The compound is in Texas now, isn't it? I say we let the Texans deal with him.

There is nothing in the article about why. Was there a lack of evidence? Some major police screwup?

I know...it disgusts me beyond belief. I hope our posters who are attorneys have some insight on this. The victims didn't want to proceed. (Who the hell can blame them??) The brief article I referenced says this cannot be refiled...does that mean that it can't be refiled in county court and is there some other recourse?

The article states TWICE why. Go back and read it.

From the article:

"Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith says the two alleged victims in the cases no longer want to proceed with prosecution in Arizona."

I guess if the "victims" recant, and there is no other evidence, there is no crime.
