[UA] More Mormon Wackiness!

[Tim Toner]

Man, this reads like the aftermath of a Mark Kiel
campaign.

>From this week's News of the Weird:

In a murder trial about to conclude at press time in
Martinez, Calif., the circuslike cast of characters
included Glenn Helzer (already convicted of several
bizarre murders designed to vault him to power as the
one true Mormon prophet), his brother Justin (charged
in Glenn's crimes and described as one who takes his
meals on the kitchen floor on all fours), Dawn Godman
(a self-described "good witch" who pleaded guilty as
Glenn's helper and then, as the government's star
witness, described Glenn's plot to recruit Brazilian
orphans to go to Utah and kill Mormon elders, thus
hastening the apocalypse), and a former Playboy
centerfold (September 2000), not charged with a crime,
who was Glenn's girlfriend and took the stand to vouch
for Justin's good character. [The Independent
