Recovery from Mormonism (RfM) discussion forum.
Mitchell's defense that he was only doing what Smith did--claiming divine inspiration in taking to wife underage Elizabeth Smart, like Smith per God's command took to wife 14-year-old Helen Mar Kimball--was rejected by the jury.

Mitchell also argued that he had been a devout Mormon and was therefore innocent, since he had served as a temple worker where he played Lucifer in the secret LDS temple ceremony..
That defense was also rejected by the jury.

Mitchell was sentenced to serve time in Carthage Jail, pending rescue by the Nauvoo Legion. He has asked for a cell with a window, a request the judge has taken under advisement.

Exactly. Mitchell used force. JS just messed with people's gullibility.
What can be learned from this? A BYU expert explained the Mitchell was really just following doctrine. Any dissonance happening now? And again, another network is praising Ed Smart's being "serene" and working hard to prevent this from happening to other kids. He went out and brought home this psycho case to do yard work (he did this with other strangers, too). This is not how to protect your children from exposure to dangerous people. Idiot.
I mean, even a CARTOONIST is more respectable.

Look at the way he treated his own beloved son - sent to a very small planet in an insignificant galaxe to be tortured by a bunch of hairless apes.
Tell him I'll fetch the tobacco and wine.
