The Ramifications Of Judge Waddoup’s Decision To Decriminalize !!!

This is one of Kristyn's best show.  1st airing 12/18/13.

Marion Munn, Ed Kociela and Kristyn Decker will have a discussion about the ramifications of Judge Waddoup’s decision to Decriminalize Polygamy in Utah.

 Marion Munn is a graduate student in the Communication Department of the University of Utah.  She is currently completing her thesis that examines media rhetoric in the reporting of Arizona's Short Creek police action of 1953. Marion focuses on how attention was distracted from the child victims of statutory rape in a community that later spawned Warren Jeffs and the FLDS. This raises questions about children's rights in polygamist communities today, and the discomfort that authorities seem to experience in prosecuting child abuse within religious contexts.  Marion has also worked with Holding out HELP as an educational advisor for those leaving polygamy, and is a member of SCC.

Author Ed Kociela who has a knack for taking his readers behind closed doors.

He has taken readers into the home of a family victimized by the nuclear fallout of the Cold War Era nuclear blasts at the Nevada Test Site in "Downwinders...the play," opened the doors to some frightening secrets locked away within a fundamentalist Mormon polygamous cult in "plygs," and can walk you backstage to hang out with some of the biggest stars in rock 'n' roll history in "It Rocked! (Recollections of a reclusive rock critic)."--
