The State of Utah has a policy of NOT prosecuting individuals for violations of the Anti-Bigamy Statute, except in cases where other crimes accompany the bigamy charge. Relying upon certain assurances of state officials leading up to 2010, the Browns became involved with the television series Sister Wives on TLC, which is a reality show based on their polygamist family.

After the show aired, the Lehi City Police Department began receiving a number of calls inquiring what the department intended to do. The day after the first episode aired, the Lehi City Police Department publicly announced that it was investigating Plaintiffs for bigamy. Similarly, the Utah County Attorney’s office stated that the Browns were placed under investigation after its attorneys saw the Sister Wives promotional trailer and commented that the Browns have made it easier for prosecutors because they admitted to felonies on national television. http://jonathanturley.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/memorandum-order-sis

Jeffrey R. Buhman, in his official capacity as County Attorney for Utah County, is being sued because he usually does not prosecute, but for Sister Wives he arbitrarily enforced the law. If he had always done his duty and always prosecuted (or even most of the time done his duty) the County Attorney would have stayed out of trouble. "There is no provision in the federal rules for a judicial equivalent of a Mulligan for the hapless County Attorney."

Not necessarily, with 17 children and 4 wives and 4 houses in Las Vegas. The TV show income keeps that "family" going. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Wives

I did not see that coming, but I rejoice that sense prevailed. My faith in the "System of Justice" had withered to a pall.
