The attorneys for Warren Steed Jeffs is asking a Mohave County Superior Court judge to set another court hearing to argue whether the prosecutor’s witnesses are experts in religious practices.

Jeffs’ attorney, Mike Piccarreta, is asking Judge Steven Conn to set a hearing to argue whether Carolyn Jessop, Richard Holm and Rebecca Musser are experts on the religious practices of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jeffs is considered a prophet by the polygamist church in Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah.

Jessop and Holm are former members of the FLDS church. Musser was married to Jeffs’ late father, Rulon Jeffs.

“It appears that all of the state’s so-called experts on the practices and beliefs of the FLDS share one common trait, an intense dislike for the FLDS after having left the church,” Piccarreta stated in his motion.
