Well, if Joseph Smith who founded the LDS church could marry at least 40 women, including women married to other men and girls as young as 14, and still be considered the most godly man who ever lived according to the Mormons, then surely this LDS bishop who forced himself on only 2 women can be considered “an extraordinarily good man” by this LDS judge.
“Some have asked if the judge and Vallejo knew each other, given Low’s growing praise. The answer is “no.” It appears the judge garnered his respect for Vallejo from some 50 character letters sent into the judge to support the former bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
