FLDS: Jeffs back in court today
Warren Jeffs, the head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, will appear in a Tom Green County court today for a pretrial hearing on charges of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and bigamy.
During the past four pretrial hearings over more than a month, Jeffs has said he will get his own representation, each time announcing that he should have representation within a week.
The “expectation is he will provide information about who will represent him,” said Jerry Strickland, a spokesman for the office of the attorney general of Texas, about today’s pretrial.
