Ervil LeBaron
Ervil Morrell LeBaron was said to be the leader of a polygamous Mormon fundamentalist group who was accused of ordering the killings of many of his colleagues. The religious doctrine of blood atonement was used to justify the murders. The use of unquestionable authority was used to coerce members of the LeBaron Family social group to commit the murders. Also, the use of unquestionable authority kept Alma Dayer LeBaron's family in a constant state of refusing to questioning what was really going on, even more tragic, the non questioning continues today 1-21-21. Ervil LeBaron was sentenced to multiple events in prison during his land dispute. He was ultimately sentenced to life in prison after facing trial for orchestrating the murder of a colleague. What happened was after the people who orchestrated Rulan Allred's murder and also who confessed later of their guilt, later pinned the murder orchestration on Ervil by writing books. In Rena Chynoweth's book she confesses the murder but points the blame at Ervil. By banning Ervil's family's freedom of speech to each other, additionally, by getting to the investigators first and telling the narrative blaming Ervil, and thirdly publishing books about how they were manipulated by Ervil, they successfully distracted the whole world from the actual land dispute. The land dispute legal documents speak for themselves. Read the land dispute over carefully. Family members were not allowed to question why are the LeBaron brothers fighting in the first place. People who discussed the land dispute were murdered.The inability to for the LeBaron Family to have freedom of speech kept Ervil's family members from talking to anyone, not even amongst themselves. Therefore, over 25 murders were believed to be orchestrated as a result of the land dispute distraction most possibly could not have been orchestrated the people not allowed to speak to one another. Ervil did not orchestrate Rulan Allred's murder either. Rena Chynoweth confessed to being the actual murderer. Note in the summary of the legal battle for Ervil's land that coincidentally, both Ervil and his brother Verlan mysteriously "died" in 1980 right after being awarded land that had been disputed for the decade prior to his death. Both the LeBaron brothers, Ervil who owned the land, and his brother Verlan, was technically in charge of the land, who had been kept separated since the land dispute started, separated by being maligned against each other, by people intested in co-opting Ervil's land development vision, and the cash flow of weathy investors who were investing in Ervil's land development dream. Both LeBaron brothers died 2 days apart in 1980. Verlan in died in an auto accident in Mexico City two days after Ervil's dead body was discovered in his cell.
