Who's vindicated? Last I heard 18 indictments and some of the minors were still being held and would not be released. [I don't think anybody was expecting with a beleaguered tumbleweed sized law enforcement branch that we were going to see hundreds of indictments in the first round]
And if there are convictions in those cases, that will indeed likely be only the "first round"--even if the cases trail off.
These types of crimes involved an open conspiracy. Some victims may elect to testify against some accomplices (you'll note that Warren Jeffs was convicted as an accomplice to rape). Some perps may be willing to turn state's evidence against other more prominent perps.
Potential second-round and third-round cases will likely rest upon victims and convicted perps' testimonies.
IF there are any convictions indeed.
18 indictments, but against whom? For all you know, all 18 are against CPS workers for kidnapping.
(I don’t know, either - all 18 could be against Warren Jeffs for rape, for all I know)
ONE minor is ordered still held, for two more days. Not SOME, ONE.
And, it was reported, by action of her lawyer against her will.
Who knows.
Here is a tidbit from another article just post by abb -
“None of the 18 indictments returned by a grand jury in Schleicher County on Monday were related to a criminal investigation of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. But the Texas Attorney General’s office said that investigation is continuing.”
None of the 18 idictment related to the flds.
Captain Hyperbole Colofornian, please but your dunce cap back on.
