Jessop Trial In Penalty Phase

The former polygamist sect bishop who's been found guilty of marrying a 12-year-old girl to 50-year-old sect leader Warren Jeffs is now in the penalty phase of his trial in Robert Lee. Testimony today in the trial of 75-year-old Frederick Jessop today brought out that he participated in marriage ceremonies involving 16 underage girls and had more than 20 wives himself. An attorney general's investigator testified this morning that several marriage ceremonies involving both Jeffs and Jessop occurred when Jeffs was a fugitive on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list.
