Cult leader gets life in prison

Well, it looks like this guy's finally off the game board.

Fifty-five-year-old Warren Jeffs - leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a polygamist cult that broke away from mainstream Mormonism - was sentenced to life in prison today for sexually assaulting 2 underage followers who he took as brides. One of the victims was only 12.

Jeffs is the eighth man from this cult to be convicted since their Texas compound was raided. But I'd thought Jeffs was off the hook once the Utah Supreme Court overturned his conviction for being an accessory to rape. Leave it to the right-wing government of Utah to support a sex offender.

But now Warren Jeffs is finally going to the clink for good.
