Local Man Accused Of Having Two Wives Suspect Could Be Charged With Four-Year Felony POSTED: 6:30 pm EST March 2, 2005 UPDATED: 7:10 pm EST March 2, 2005 A local man faces charges after it was discovered that he apparently has two wives, Local 4 reported. Devorah Brooks said she married Randy Brooks (pictured, left) in Ohio in 1995. "(There was) a lot of lying, a lot of manipulating," Brooks said. "He was messing around when we got married and he just kept going. He never stopped."

"I was shocked; she was shocked," Brooks said. Randy Brooks apparently married his second wife at a Ferndale church in December, the station reported. A man accused of having two wives sent teddy bears to his first wife each time he betrayed her, she said. Local 4 learned that in addition to his two wives, Brooks has three four children with three different women. His second wife is also pregnant, according to the station's reports. Devorah Brooks said her husband owes her several years of back child support payments. A mountain of stuffed teddy bears in her home represents the difficulties in their marriage, the station reported. Brooks said each time her husband betrayed her, she was given a teddy bear and an apology, the station reported. "You can't keep doing wrong to people and expect nothing to happen to you," she said. Randy Brooks is now facing a felony polygamy charge, which is punishable by up to four years in prison. Local 4 attempted to contact Brooks and his attorney, but the phone calls were not returned. Brooks' second wife also did not want to discuss the possible charges against her husband. Copyright 2005 by ClickOnDetroit.com. All rights reserved.

Can we charge her with felony stupidity for putting up with his philandering for so long?
i don't the state should have any say so in this. marriage is supposed to be a private contract.
What sort of private contract? Would the two of them hold hands and jumping over a rope satisfy a private contract?
if that's what the two individuals agree to going in, why not?
For starters, there isn't much protection for the woman without the marriage contract.
maybe she'd choose her life partner more wisely then.
Maybe so. BTW, how long is life?
