Sister Wives patriarch Kody Brown listed as expert witness in polygamy violence case//
Sister Wives" patriarch, Kody Brown, may be called to testify as an expert witness in a polygamy case involving//
alleged physical violence by Mitchell Kyle Henderson. It is alleged that he beat his first wife//
after entering into a "spiritual" relationship with another woman, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. //
Kody Brown has long been an activist for polygamy and is probably the most well-known polygamist in the USA.//
Kody Brown of Sister Wives as an expert witness, Kody Brown heads a polygamous family //
that is screened on one of TLC's reality TV series. The show that's been running for eight years follows Kody Brown,//
his four wives, and their 18 children. In fact, because of his polygamy, he was investigated in Utah.//
But a ruling overturned the prosecution as he was only married to one wife and the others were "spiritual" unions. //
The Utah laws against polygamy were ruled by a federal judge to be unconstitutional. In fact,//
a man may not marry more than one wife but he can cohabit with more than one.//
This experience probably does put Kody Brown into the bracket of being an "expert witness." However, //
The Salt Lake Tribune did point out that the defense team of Mitchell Kyle Henderson,//
don't really want him to testify unless necessary. His lawyer, an ex Utah attorney general, Mark Shurtless,//
would rather try and file a motion asking the judge to ban any references to polygamy during the trial.//
Polygamy and domestic violence relationship, In the opinion of the lawyer, there should be no need to mention polygamy in an assault charge.//
He need not have been polygamous to beat his wife. The Salt Lake Tribunal quoted him as saying,//
“It’s just meant to inflame the jury." The prosecution intends to introduce their own expert witness testimony through//
someone who will claim the church both Henderson and Brown attend, is patriarchal. //
The church is the Apostolic United Brethren. Shurtless feels that he will only need to produce Brown as an expert witness//
if the prosecution does use their own expert. Henderson's first wife believes polygamy should be mentioned in the trial.//
“This whole thing is about polygamy and control and abuse,” Nicole Van Tassell Henderson stated.//
The charges faced by Henderson, Henderson will appear in a state court in Provo to face six charges. //
The felony charges include violating a protective order, domestic violence and assault, and tampering with witnesses.//
He could face five years imprisonment on each count if he is found guilty. The trial is still some time away //
and the selection of the jury will begin on September 11. Henderson and Kody Brown of "Sister Wives" are friends,//
attend the same church together, and live a polygamy lifestyle through cohabiting with multiple women.//
As the trial is still pending, Kody Brown was not able to provide a statement to the press.//
