ALarson Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I thought this article was very interesting to read through on Willie Jessop (the government's "star" witness). Here's a quote from it and the link: Quote As "Thug Willie," he defended his prophet with pit-bull ferocity. But by the time we meet in a fourth-floor hallway at the Sandra Day O'Connor federal courthouse, Willie Jessop has changed sides. He's the star government witness, testifying on behalf of outsiders he once considered his enemies. He carries himself like a man determined to unburden his conscience even if it means turning against everyone and everything he once believed in. Burly and middle-aged with a mop of brown hair, Jessop spent more than a decade as security chief and spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a polygamous sect that split from the mainstream Mormon church at the turn of the last century. As head of the "God Squad," he was perhaps the highest profile FLDS member -- with the exception of its prophet, Warren Jeffs. http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/us/jessop-flds-warren-jeffs-short-creek/ 1
