Warren Jeffs In Coma, May Not Survive: Source
ABC News ^ | August 29, 2011 | Katie Kindelan and Kaitlyn Folmer

Warren Jeffs, the polygamous sect leader and convicted child rapist, is in a coma and may not survive, a source close to Jeffs tells ABC News.

Jeffs, 55, had been fasting for the past three days and became so weak that doctors at the Texas prison where he is serving a life sentence induced a coma, according to the source.

The leader of a radical polygamist sect of Mormonism known as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS), Jeffs is scheduled to go on trial a second time in October to face charges of first-degree bigamy. Conviction would be punishable by up to 99 years or life in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

Jeffs was moved last Tuesday to a solitary cell at the Powledge Unit in Palestine, Texas, because of the large amount of media coverage surrounding his case, prison officials said.

Hmmm? He fasted three days and they induced a coma?

Now they expect him to die?

Can you say murder under the color of law?

"Induced coma" is code for drug stupor.

Why would you give drugs to a person who is in a weakened state?

Something is not passing the smell test here.

Sounds like he was “Dahmered.”

Being a prophet isn’t enough? Now he wants to be Gandhi!

For me thus far, the money quote:

a source close to Jeffs tells ABC News.

Do you have proof for your mindless accusations? Or don’t we need proof since we are on the big bad internet.

It sounds like to me that he deliberately did that to himself so he wouldn’t have to serve his sentence.

I have absolutely no proof.

Apparently I missed the memo that the internet now bans speculation, would you be so kind as to forward me a copy?

To finish the job. He wanted to starve himself to death and the warden wanted to be sure he didn't change is mind.

"Polygamous pervert about to hie to Kolob ping. "

He gets his own planet right? The Mormon promise of a whole planet to do with as you please beats the Muslim promise of 72 virgins.

And Jeffs is Joseph Smith's true disciple. He has done exactly what Joseph Smith did. Claimed to be a prophet and used his self announced status to marry a bunch of women and children, in contradiction to what Genesis and the New Testament say.

My guess is that he would have resisted an IV drip, so they had to put him out in order to rehydrate him. Fwiw.

Yeah, that doesn't make any sense at all. There's something they aren't telling us.

You don't starve to death in three days.
