"Priesthood records the Crown seeks to have admitted state that on Feb. 26, 2004, Warren Steed Jeffs, then the prophet and president of the FLDS Church, contacted Brandon Blackmore and informed him that (the 13-year-old girl) 'belonged' to Mr. Jeffs ...," says the written ruling released online Mond
The lawyer for Brandon Blackmore, John Gustafson, argued that the records were prejudicial because Jeffs mixes his own activities with the business of the church, and that was compounded because Jeffs hasn't been called to testify at the trial for the three accused.
