There are many cases where witness tampering might be a big issue in court rooms all over the nation every day- yet I have never heard of a judge ordering cell phones be confiscated from people that are not under arrest. Are these women under arrest? I don’t know, but it doesn’t seem so from media reports. I do think this is a terrible and unusual case; but I don’t want any precedent set there that may haunt the rest of us later. These people have rights, no matter what they have done or might do.
It’s called vigilante justice... don’t need no gol’durn trial!
I understand what you’re saying==== but witness tampering and these women who have been so fricken brainwashed that they handed their girls over to be ‘effed’ by old men is an issue.
They are a risk to themselves and their children. And yes, while not criminals, a hairsbreadth away if coached by the right person.
Perhaps if they were enrolled in a government reeducation program they would give up those loathsome clothes and outlandish religion. I’m told it worked wonders on the Indians.
You know Obama says that may Americans cling to guns and religion because they are bitter that the government doesn’t have a reeducation and work program for them.
ROTFLOL! You're the one who said that the letter was from perverts. Since the mothers wrote the letter, you are saying they are perverts.
But perhaps you have a logic problem and can't follow that.

Amen...and how is that mandatory, lavender frock any different (in theory) than that oldtime fashion statement of a burka? And I am being serious...plural marriages; no worth given to women (beyond reproduction and sex). Not much of a leap there...
If they had rights, they wouldn't be dressing so funny!
Sentence first, then the trial!
Get over yourself....you want this to fail.
You don’t give a rats patootie about what is going on here...you want the government to be wrong in this so you can feel smug and self-righteous.
Again, this is a bizarre situation, but this is purely a rape and pedophile ring under the guise of a religion. That’s all it is....
Aw heck just string ‘em up! Where’s muh rope!
That dress is a sign of abuse /sarc.
Seriously it’s their version of a burka.
Get in line,
I’d be happy to test it ;)
not a single tear nor a tear soaked tissue in her hand either.
the box of tissue is a total prop!
And you never put lavendar on someone with that shade of red hair. Cruel. ;)
Actually I was being sarcastic...
You were?
Hard to tell around here.
There’s an enormous potential in this case for witness intimidation, collaboration and conspiracy. I’m not sure about the legality of taking cellphones away from people who have not been accused of a crime, but I can understand exactly why they did it.
Aiding and Abetting/Accessory A criminal charge of aiding and abetting or accessory can usually be brought against anyone who helps in the commission of a crime, though legal distinctions vary by state. A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support. Depending on the degree of involvement, the offender's participation in the crime may rise to the level of conspiracy. FROM http://criminal.findlaw.com/crimes/a-z/aiding_abetting_accessory.html
Stacey and Clinton need to get there asap...and bring Nick Arojo (I can’t spell his name) but he could do wonders....
