the808bass: “Could that change for me? Yes. If evidence presented in this case becomes contradictory to the government’s claims, the former cultist’s claims, and the statements of their own teachings. Could your opinion change for you? I have my doubts.”
Why would you post a reasonable response like that then turn it into a personal attack? If it’s as bad as you claim, a position not yet proven, they need to throw the child molesters in prison. That, however, doesn’t justify a fishing expedition in order to build a case. Is that how it’s legally done these days? Have a suspicion? Round ‘em up and put them in custody until they prove they are innocent. Keep interrogating the children till the story is straight, right?
If you presuppose that they're "interrogating the children until the story is straight," then what do you expect your conclusion will find? I am well aware of instances where the interrogators have abused their position and become more suggestive than interrogatory. I think there are some minimal safeguards against that possibility here.
I have no idea why you are sure that the state is out to get this bizarre cult of polygamous child molesters. (See how fun stating one's personal conclusion of fact is?)
