Warren Jeffs Religious Freak Trial Underway

    The key witness in the trial of polygamist Warren Jeffs testified Thursday that she was taught Jeffs was the prophet and the only way to eternal salvation was a complete surrender to his teachings.
    http://www.abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3601836&page=1
    "The prophet was God to us. He was God on Earth and his counselors were pretty much the same, so they had jurisdiction over us," the woman said, explaining why she agreed to Jeffs' order to marry her 19-year-old cousin when she was 14 years old.

    Jeffs — the leader of the 10,000-strong Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, locally known as FLDS — is charged with two counts of rape by accomplice. Prosecutors say he forced the woman, now 21, into having sex with her husband when she was a teenager.

    She testified only briefly Thursday and is expected to return to the stand today.

    Will this trial turn into yet another media fiasco ?


    or

    What will the verdict be guilty or not-guilty ?
