I'm watching all of this unfold on TV and I can't help but notice these women. For instance, one woman interviewed on "Today" by Meredith Vieira, I believe her name was Amy, looks like she has a droopy eye. I have seen the same facial feature damage in abuse cases. Other women look like the men. Makes you wonder if they are inbred?? After all, they were born into the sect and have probably given birth to children by another relative. I certainly hope the DNA will sort this out soon so these people can be helped. As one man put it, he didn't know he was doing anything wrong. These people need education on many levels, in order to understand you can't have children with sisters, aunts, nieces and grandchildren.

You have called it right. They are all funny looking. They are inbred. How can you know who is who? All of those children by all of those different women. You don't know who your half sister or brother is. Folks just can't keep track. Especially since they are not educated and can hardly count to 20.

It's very sad to see people so poorly educated in science, especially
biology, genetics, and human A&P.

It showed on Big Love one of the sister wives trying to rein in and
educate an unwilling and rebellious 14 year old who was promised to her husband, the prophet. In this fictional scenario, she had to wait until she was 16 to complete the "fake" marriage so they could have sexual intercourse and produce babies.

She was all set to marry and then ran away. At the time I had no idea that it was based on the FLDS and either Rulon Jeffs or Warren Jeffs or a compilation.

Was the DNA what caused the indictments or what is the evidence?
