  • USA: Arrestation Du Chef D'une Secte Polygame Recherch Par Le
    Religious leader's capture a relief to alleged victims Daphne Bramham, CanWest News Service; Vancouver Sun National Post, Wednesday, August 30, 2006 VANCOUVER - The arrest of fundamentalist Mormon leader Warren Jeffs Monday night near Las Vegas was a fluke. Nevada Highway Patrol officers couldn't read the temporary licence on the maroon Cadillac Escalade so they pulled it over. Inside was the prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS), chowing down on a salad. Jeffs is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list along with Osama bin Laden. In the SUV with Jeffs were his brother, Isaac Steve Jeffs, and one of Warren's wives, 33-year-old Naomi Jeffs, who at 17 became a plural wife to Warren's father, Rulon, the previous prophet who died in September 2002. Warren Jeffs, 50, had been on the run for nearly two years. He's wanted for fleeing prosecution on sex charges in both Arizona and Utah related to his arranging and performing marriages between under-age girls and older men. As serious as the charges are against Jeffs, they wouldn't normally have landed him on the most- wanted list. He's there because the attorneys-general of Utah, Arizona and British Columbia believe Jeffs has done many worse things while exercising complete control over more than 12,000 or so followers in Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Mexico and Bountiful, B.C. ''The arrest is a major step toward ending Jeffs's tyrannical rule,'' Arizona Attorney-General Terry Goddard said Tuesday. ''He showed flagrant disregard for subpoenas and arrest warrants and told his followers that the law didn't apply to him.'' B.C.

  • Religious Basis for Contemporary Mormon Polygamy
    1 “What’s Love Got to Do with It?” Earthly Experience of Celestial Marriage, Past and Present Carrie A. Miles 2008 This is a draft of the chapter was printed in Modern Polygamy in the United States, Cardel Jacobson with Lara Burton (eds.), Oxford University Press, 2011. In 1842, Joseph Smith -- the founder of Mormonism and first practitioner of LDS celestial or plural marriage -- proposed marriage to Lucy Walker, a sixteen year old girl who had come to live with him and his wife Emma after her mother died. Lucy was understandably disturbed by this proposal. Joseph tried to reassure her, but ultimately confessed, "I have no flattering words to offer."1 Scholars have offered many explanations for why a group of Christians in nineteenth century America should begin to practice a form of marriage then derided as a "relic of barbarism." But it's not clear if any of them explain why an already-married Prophet of God The official Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has expressed a preference not to be called “Mormon,” but to be referred to by its full name on first usage, with the acronym LDS in following uses. I use the term Mormon in this paper because I am referring not just to the LDS Church but to the broader range of groups that descended from the founding of the LDS Church. © Carrie Miles 2011 2 would propose an illegal marriage to an astonished teenager without professing either admiration, love, or even lust for her. Even less do they explain why a young girl should agree to such an apparently passionless marriage to a man twice her age.

This article is brought to you by the William & Mary Law School Scholarship Repository. https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/wmjowl THE TEXAS MIS-STEP: WHY THE LARGEST CHILD REMOVAL IN MODERN U.S. HISTORY FAILED JESSICA DIXON WEAVER* This Article sets forth the historical and legal reasons as to how the State of Texas botched the removal of 439 children from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints parents residing in Eldorado, Texas. The Department of Family and Protective Services in Texas overreached its authority by treating this case like a class-action removal based on an impermissible legal argument, rather than focusing on the facts and circumstances that could have been substantiated for a select group of children at risk. This imper- missible legal argument regarding the “pervasive belief system” of a polygamist sect that allowed minor females to spiritually marry older adult males sparked questions as to how far the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment go in protecting religious freedom and parental rights.

  • Texas Court of Appeals, Third District, at Austin
    TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-10-00272-CR Lehi Barlow Jeffs aka Lehi Barlow Allred,, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF SCHLEICHER COUNTY, 51ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 1000, THE HONORABLE BARBARA L. WALTHER, JUDGE PRESIDING M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N Appellant Lehi Barlow Jeffs aka Lehi Barlow Allred, pleaded no contest to an indictment accusing him of sexually assaulting a child. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.011(a)(2)(A) (West 2011). The district court adjudged him guilty and assessed punishment at eight years’ imprisonment, in accordance with a plea bargain agreement. Appellant brings forward twenty-five points of error. The first twenty-one points assert that the trial court erred by denying his pretrial motion to suppress evidence. The remaining four points complain about the trial court’s denial of his motion to quash the indictment. We affirm the conviction. I. BACKGROUND The YFZ (Yearning for Zion) Ranch is a 1,691-acre property near Eldorado in Schleicher County. More than two hundred persons lived on the ranch in 2008, all of them members of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). Among the structures on the property were a temple and a temple annex, nineteen residential buildings, a school, a clinic, a warehouse, a water treatment plant, and several commercial buildings. County tax records reflected that the land and improvements were owned by a single entity, YFZ Land, LLC. The ranch property was not subdivided, and there was no evidence that any of the buildings were owned or leased by an individual.

  • The Theory of Collective Memory and the 1953 Short Creek Raid
    THE THEORY OF COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND THE 1953 SHORT CREEK RAID by Brooke Adams A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of Utah in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Human Development and Social Policy Department of Family and Consumer Studies The University of Utah May 2012 Copyright © Brooke Adams 2012 All Rights Reserved The University of Utah Graduate School STATEMENT OF THESIS APPROVAL The thesis of Brooke Adams has been approved by the following supervisory committee members: Cheryl Wright , Chair Dec. 14, 2011 Date Approved Marissa Diener , Member Dec. 14, 2011 Date Approved Sonia Salari , Member Dec. 14, 2011 Date Approved Scott Wright , Member Dec. 14, 2011 Date Approved and by Russ Isabella , Chair of the Department of Family and Consumer Studies and by Charles A. Wight, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT A key question in collective memory research is how such memories are created and shared over time. This study consisted of a qualitative content analysis of documentary artifacts to determine whether there is a collective memory of the 1953 Short Creek Raid and, if so, how it developed and contributes to an ongoing sense of identity for some Fundamentalist Mormons. Documents were divided into three separate time periods. These documents included media interviews, personal essays, a commemorative calendar, speeches, religious sermons, a school curriculum and a best- selling book written by a former polygamous wife. Each document was analyzed using a protocol sheet with an initial set of categories, such as “divine intervention,” “heroes” and “us versus them.” The study found the 1953 Short Creek Raid is the basis for a collective memory.
