Provo • A state senator was in a Provo courtroom Thursday to see a family and political drama conclude with his son-in-law entering a plea in abeyance to misdemeanor domestic violence charges in a case that helped change Utah’s polygamy laws.
In a deal with prosecutors, Mitchell Kyle Henderson entered the two pleas and was sentenced to probation. He had been charged with five felonies of assault, domestic violence and witness tampering.
“There are only a few charges before the court today," she said. "They do not do justice to what happened to me.”
The Hendersons were part of a polygamous family that belonged to the Apostolic United Brethren.
