George Reynolds was accused of breaking the law against bigamy, which involves marrying someone while already being legally married to another person. His case was significant in the context of the Mormon practice of polygamy in the 19th century. Reynolds was ultimately convicted, and his case reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the anti-bigamy laws.
