Tuesday morning it’s really quiet outside the court now. Fewer cameras. I hear that a bunch of cameras got pulled to Vegas to cover O.J. Simpson’s arrest.

About a dozen or so of Warren Jeffs’ supporters attend the trial every day. They have a handful of friends and family passes (seating in the courthouse is assigned) and a few seem to be coming early to get one of the few public passes handed out first thing. The FLDS arrive right around 8am, when the doors open. Once they’re inside the cameras can’t get them.

This morning there’s only one video camera out there filming. I watch, without cameras, and notice a couple of new faces among the FLDS. I make notes on the new people so I can photograph them leaving later on:

- short and squat
- big man in gray with wife in brown
- old Marshall Applewhite-looking guy w/ wife in brown

After court lets out I photograph the supporters leaving. The couple above, young and lively, walk out right in my direction. They seem to be laughing at the spectacle. It’s Merril and Christine Shaply. As Merril walks by, he says to me, “Do you enjoy your job?”

“Yeah. I do,” I say (my answer sounds aggressive in print, but I didn’t say it that way). They laugh, and I add, “Some days are better than others.” They walk off laughing.
