One of Fischer's ex-wives, some of his children, and family friends wrote affidavits that were sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee claiming Fischer was abusive. The affidavits were submitted Thursday by Rod Parker, a Salt Lake attorney acting as a spokesman for the FLDS Church. They were included in a packet outlining the church's clarified policy on marriage and a letter from Parker chastising the committee for not soliciting FLDS testimony.
However, they may be too late to be included in the printed hearing record. That deadline was Wednesday, according to Erica Chabot, a spokeswoman for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
I wonder why they'd submit the affidavits AFTER the deadline. Could it be that the don't want them to be included in the hearing record? Could it be just another flds publicity stunt?
“Could it be just another flds publicity stunt? “
You’re not implying the FLDS would ‘try’ the case in the public venue, like they did in 1952, and were successful?
