President Hinckley mentioned that Joseph Smith was arrested on trumped up charges before being jailed and murdered in Carthage. My understanding was that Joseph was arrested because he smashed a printing press being run by dissenters in Nauvoo. Is this really a trumped up charge? Or is it other charges that were the so-called meat of the case?
