SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A judge will ask the state Supreme Court on Wednesday to let him stay on the bench after a commission that oversees judges ordered him dismissed because he has three wives. (AND 32 CHILDREN - ADDED BY POWERGIRL)

. . .

Steed has served for 25 years in the southern border town of Hildale, handing down rulings in drunken driving and domestic violence cases. Parker contends the bigamy statute is only enforced in rare cases, such as when someone has been duped into marrying someone who already has a wife.

. . .

Those pursuing the case against Judge Walter Steed say his plural marriage creates a conflict: After taking an oath to uphold the law, he shouldn't be breaking it. "You can't have it both ways," said Colin Winchester, the executive director of the state's Judicial Conduct Commission.


Steed legally married his first wife in 1965, according to court documents. The second and third wives were married -- or "sealed" as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints refers to it -- to him in religious ceremonies in 1975 and 1985.
The three women are biological sisters and no one in the family was expecting that the second and third marriages would be civilly recognized.

:woohoo:

1. I wonder if he created any "Lost boys" himself?

2. My Lord!

What nut jobs. How the hell does he expect to sit as a judge when he deliberatly broke the law and continues to do so? This is far different from a single act of negligence or bad judgment.

4. If you allow multiple wives, pretty soon men will marry men, maybe dogs...
