I don't think the author(s) (the guy's who "visions" were written about is dead and the ghost writer who is, I think, alive) of this book ever committed any crime. At least I haven't heard that. I don't know much about them or the book other than what Megan was talking about with Lauren from HTC.
I'm hard core pro freedom of speech but that doesn't mean the LDS church should be selling this book. Leave it for Amazon or Barnes & Noble. They obviously choose what to sell and wouldn't sell the Baghavad Gita, for instance, because it's from another religion. So by selling this book, it seems they endorse it, even though they've claimed that Chad's nonsense didn't comport with their own teachings but his nonsense came from that book. Bad PR call, at the very least!
