The Tom Green Connection
Filed Under Constitution, Marriage, Religion
Remember Tom Green, the polygamist prosecuted by Juab County Prosecutor David Leavitt back in 2001?
This year, Leavitt stated during his run for Utah’s 3rd Congressional seat that the activities going on in Texas involving Warren Jeffs’s followers were a direct result of the Tom Green case.
Well, an interesting connection has turned up in the Texas case. Custody of the children seized by Texas authorities is being determined in court in Tom Green County. Is that weird or what?
That’s got to have some hidden significance. It’d be interesting to find out what.
