Many Wives, One Heart: Kody Brown Defends Sister Wives, Hopes For Leniency From D.A.

by at .

With four wives and 16 kids, Kody Brown is used to complicated situations. But facing a legal crackdown in the form of a felony bigamy investigation is different.

"I just hope," he tells People, "They don't put me in jail for loving four women."

Sister Wives Wives

Since TLC's Sister Wives began depicting his polygamist ways, the affable Kody, who just married Robyn Sullivan to up the wife count to four, has felt the heat.

MRS. BROWNS: This real-life drama is reminiscent of Big Love, or vice versa.

It's a rare occurrence to see someone prosecuted for polygamy in Utah, but the Browns have hired a lawyer to defend Kody - and by association, their lifestyle.

Brown and wives say they knew the legal dangers of going public on the TLC show, but wanted to take the risk to show a different side of polygamist culture.

"We understand the outrage and confusion over our lifestyle," says Sullivan, the fourth Mrs. Kody Brown. "We're Frankenstein and freaks to a lot of people."

What do you think? Should the Brows be prosecuted?

    I don't understand why they would go on t v and show the world what they are doing and then be upset about the consequences. I think Kody and the wives should of thought of what it would do to the kids and their lives before they went public. Kids don't like to feel that they are different from everyone else.

    I know how it feels to lose your home and your personal belongs. I can understand what this family is going through moving to Los Vegas, NV. Keeping the family together is the most important part and I know the children are going to have a difficult time with the move, especially the older children. Keeping the family together and supporting each other through this is the most important thing. Regardless of who is the mother or father, the children do not deserve to be separated. Perhaps the laws should change and make it legal to have more than one wife, making sure that the males and females are both of legal age and that there is no intermarriages or 13 y/o girls being married to an elder, which I understand only happens in the fringe groups that you hear so much about. There are "nuts" who will always challenge society as well as God's moral standing. But God also admonishes us not to judge others. If we can allow gay marriage why not polygamy?

    This guy needs to have "it" cut off, while he's rotting in jail. He is hiding behind his reigion, and uses it as an excuse, period.
