'Prophet' gets new lawyers, delays hearing
2006-09-15
ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- A preliminary hearing for polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was postponed Monday at the request of one of his newly hired lawyers. Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is charged with two felony counts of rape as an accomplice. He is accused of arranging a "spiritual marriage" between an underage girl and an older man. Court documents filed by Washington County Attorney Brock Belnap do not identify the girl or the husband, but indicated that she fought the marriage despite being directed by Jeffs to give herself "mind, body and soul, to your husband like you're supposed to." Jeffs, 50, made a brief court appearance Monday via closed-circuit television from the Purgatory Correction Facility, where he is being held without bail.
