The Weaver family is running out of time. And with a new addition due any day, things are getting pretty desperate.

The behavior exhibited by Brigham this past September, the behavior that led to being arrested twice and resulted in his upcoming date with a judge scheduled for Nov. 2, were not like his other antics. They were darker, more serious.

When the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released its long-awaited draft report on its investigation into the groundwater contamination near Pavillion, Wyo., in 2011, the oil and gas industry knew it was in trouble.

He would have told you he deserved it.
