“I agree with the author that Wm. Law was the prime apostate-instigator of the martyrdom. In my BYU Studies article "Road to Martyrdom: Joseph Smith's Last Legal Cases" (Vol. 55 # 2, June 2016, p, 26 and fn. 87), J.S. said that "all the sorrow he ever had in his family in this city has arisen through the influence of William Law." Others testified during the Expositor city council hearings in June 1844 that Law had been conspiring with Missourians and others to destroy the prophet as early as June 1842.”

Someday, if it hasn't already happened, those people will have to stand before the Lord and explain their treatment of the prophet of the restoration. I can't imagine what that would be like.
