Warren Jeffs gets life in prison

Polygamist leader Warren Jeffs will get life in prison for sexually assaulting two underage followers. A Texas jury took less than half an hour to come to the decision. 

The prosecution says that Jeffs took two teenage members of his Church as brides. DNA evidence proved that he fathered a child with a fifteen-year old. 

He is the head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints, a radical branch of the Mormon religion. The group's ten thousand followers believe in polygamy and that Jeffs is God's spokesperson on Earth.

Jeffs defended himself after going through several lawyers, and said his religious rights were violated. He avoided arrest for years, and eventually made the FBI's Most Wanted List.
