“tons of evidence that exists about this group and its practices”
That is not true. There is not “tons of evidence” against the FLDS. If there were, the terrorized children would not have been returned to their mothers.
But you believe the evidence is unshakeable against Fischer? Unbelievable.
This is why I suggested you read the book by Krakauer--he's not ex-FLDS (who you dismiss out of hand unfairly), and it was written long before this situation in Texas developed. But frankly, I don't think the whole of the FLDS membership openly admitting in court to the practice of underage marriages, statutory rape, etc. would convince you.
“the terrorized children would not have been returned to their mothers.”
But the CPS was successful in not returning them to their husbands.
