Mormon Polygamist Warren Steed Jeffs sentenced to life in prison

Bad moments in Mormon history and right-wing religious extremism. A Texas jury Tuesday sentenced polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs to the maximum possible prison term of life plus 20 years for sexually assaulting two underage girls he chose to be part of his 78-wife harem. Warren Jeffs was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List in May 2006 and caught in August 2006.
