I agree.
I was in high school when the Hoffman murders occurred. Christensen's sister in law taught at my school and when he died I started paying attention to the cover-up. To this day I struggle with the actions of the church in covering the situation and their involvement up. Hoffman would have gotten the death penalty if the church leaders (Hinckley and Pinnock) hadn't been involved. I am convinced that the church, in protecting it's leaders from testifying, "urged" the local authorities to plea deal with Hoffman.
