An Arizona county attorney prosecuting polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs says he’ll oppose any attempt by Jeffs’ defense to prohibit use of evidence seized during a raid on the sect’s Texas compound.

Jeffs awaits trial in Arizona on four counts of being an accomplice to sexual conduct with a minor — charges stemming from the marriages of two teenage girls and their adult male relatives.

Jeffs defense attorney Michael Piccarreta contends that evidence from the Texas raid should be barred on grounds that the raid was based on a call that Texas authorities should have known was a hoax.

Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith responds by saying he believe that Texas authorities acted in good faith and that their actions were “appropriate and constitutional.”
