Manipulation

Years ago, when Tom Green was convicted of bigamy, I was struck by a couple of things.

First, Tom Green was SINGLE. He was legally married to NO ONE. Judge (I believe it was) Donald Eyre needed to find a way to get Tom Green to be guilty, so he declared Linda Kunz legally married to Tom. Linda didn't want that, so she told the judge she wanted an immediate divorce. Judge Eyre refused.

When it came time for the jury verdict, the Provo, Utah, jury had to decide the following: Was Tom married to someone? (Judge Eyre had guaranteed that); and Did Tom have children by another lady? (that was a given). So, what could the jury decide? Unless they understood the important principle of Jury Nullification, it was inevitable that Tom would have to be judged GUILTY. It wasn't right, but the careful manipulation of the legal system achieved the desired result.

Yesterday, Keith Dutson (now 25) was found guilty of sexual assault of a fifteen-year-old.

Keith was twenty (20) when he married his wife. Basically teenage sweethearts. They are monogamists. Both sets of parents were supportive of the marriage (a religious marriage). The couple is still together. The wife became pregnant after she turned sixteen.

Keith is about to be sentenced by a San Angelo jury. The term could be 20 years.

So, again you see a manipulation of the legal system by the judge, prosecutor, sheriff, and a pack of hater-nasties including Becky Musser and Dr. Larry Beall. Tell me the name of the last 20-year-old Texan who went to prison for impregnating his 16-year-old wife.

This young couple - this kid - is completely innocent, but will likely go to prison because of political agendas, religious prejudice, and manipulations of the legal system.
