>A polygamous family made famous by a reality TV show won’t face criminal charges, Utah County Attorney Jeff Buhman said Thursday.

>The office has adopted a formal policy stating it won’t file bigamy charges against any consenting adult polygamists unless violence, abuse or fraud is involved.

>It is "intended to prevent future prosecution of polygamists in Utah County for just the practice of polygamy," now or in the future, even after Buhman leaves office.

Wow. So, in effect, Polyg isn't illegal there.


(?) Still against a Federal Law?

I'm-a-betting ChurchCo HATES that news....

Next: people who wanna live 'the principle' move to Utah county!

Wait. WHAT?!

They know it's illegal. They have proof of said illegality and the participants' intention to engage in it. Video, witness, written and otherwise. And they declined to prosecute?

WHY?

'WHY' ? it's Obvious, Friend. these may or may not be LDS, but they're certainly Mormons. You see, Mormons brought back polyg to the 'Dispensation of the Fullness of Times'. Therefore, it is 'Ordained of God, for the benefit of man' <refer to LDS Rants against monogamy>

the prosecutor, God bless him, is putting God's laws ABOVE men's laws. Bravo!
