4:39 Sylvia Sessions Lyon's case has been a matter of great debate among scholars. On the one hand, Brian Hales, leading Mormon apologist on the subject of plural marriage and principle proponent of the eternityonly/nonsexual/nonpolyandry sealings theory, has changed his views regarding Sylvia Sessions' case after DNA evidence proved that Josephine was not Joseph Smith's biological daughter.
In this video, historian Dan Vogel gives a detailed explanation of Sylvia Session's case and provides a timeline of Brian Hale's evolving views before and after DNA evidence. Vogel also explains why the new DNA evidence further proves that Sylvia Sessions was having sexual relations with Joseph Smith and Mr. Lyon simultaneously; a significant difference to Brian Hales’ apologetic conclusions.
