QUESTIONS PRESENTED

 

1. Does Reynolds v. United States, 98 U.S. 145

(1879), preclude extension of modern liberty rights to

religious polygamists who do not seek legal recognition of

their relationships?

 

2. Does state criminalization of private polygamous

relationships between consenting adults violate the liberty

protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth

Amendment?

 

3. Does Utah's bigamy law target religion, in violation

of the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment

and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth

Amendment, by making participation in a private religious

ceremony an element of the crime?

 

4. Were Petitioner's constitutional rights of due

process and confrontation violated when the State failed to

prove the jurisdictional elements of the crime, and when

the trial court sustained the State's objection to Petitioner's

effort to prove that the alleged acts took place

outside the State of Utah?

 

 

 

Let me know if you want the entire file posted here.

 

Thanks!
