Well, let's see if I can come up with one idea of why Judge Sams acted as he did. Oh, yeah, he's a member of the theocratic bunch that runs Utah. He didn't want any more digging into this case for fear that more, and higher placed, public official's may have been investigated, possibly member's of the LDS church hierarchy! I hope that the government can appeal this blatant attempt at covering up the scandal, and get a conviction of the perpetrator's of this crime.

Did you follow the prosecution's effort at this trial? Their star witnesses testimonies were helpful to the defendants, they'd wave at the two defendants. The case was weak, and had nothing to do with anyone's religion. Judge Sam is LDS, but I know one of the defendants is not in good standing with the LDS church (if indeed he is still a member.) Many members of the committee that got the bid weren't LDS either.
