Who is Shecky?
So I'm reading through the transcript of Merril Jessop's deposition (thanks Paul!) and come across this exchange:

Malonis: Are you familiar with a company called JeffsBusiness.com LTD?

Amy Hennington, Merril's attorney: Upon the advice of counsel my client is invoking his right to assert the privilege against self-incrimination pursuant to the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, as well as the state of Texas Constitution; the basis for the exertion of this privilege is the federal and state search warrants and the ongoing . . . that have been issued relating to matters here in Schleicher County back in April of 2008, the ongoing investigations that have resulted from those search warrants.


Okay, clue me in: Who is Jeff "Shecky'' Schechter and what does he have to do with Teresa Jeffs, or the FLDS for that matter? After looking at his Web page, the answer appears to me to be nothing. So have at it and set me straight.

If you give Malonis credit, it's a fishing expedition question Brooke. If you say she's just casting about out of control, the answer is self evident.

Going back to giving her credit, it could evoke a response about an internet site owned by the FLDS church or by one of it's members or leadership.

I think she's just a loose cannon, and as long as I'm out of her way, it's fun to watch the chaos she produces.

I'm sure whoever Shecky is, what he does is sure to have dire consequences for Teresa over the next 6 months of her childhood, or else Malonis wouldn't be asking the question.

Brooke

This post doesn't make sense because you didn't say how Shecky was referenced. Is Shecky connected with JeffsBusiness.com LTD?

The website is all about him.
