“Thus far, the proven lies have been committed by the anti-FLDS crowd, mostly law enforcement. “
The FLDS crowd either ‘knew’ the ages of their children, or had a good idea. The fact that they now come out with some proof of age, means they must have already known.
The CPS had to guess, since none of them gave birth to these children, nor raised them from birth. The CPS asked the ages and the FLDS crowd said they didn’t know, or kept changing their stories of the ages of certain children.
ERGO, the CPS might have been mistaken, having been forced to ‘guess’, but the FLDS members had to outright lie, in some of the cases, since they had every reason in the world to ‘know’.
The FACT they were members of a ‘cult’ (the cult of Warren Jeffs) which was violating the law, and required them to lie to authorities, is something that keeps getting glossed over.
Lying to government agents can lead to tons of trouble. Ask Martha Stewart. Remaining silent will probably be criminalized real soon now.
