Lawyers for Fundamentalist LDS Church leader Warren Jeffs plan to interview an anti-polygamy activist about the phone calls that sparked the raid on the sect’s YFZ Ranch in Texas.In papers filed last week in a Kingman, Ariz., court, Jeffs’ attorneys said they have scheduled a Nov. 24 interview with Flora Jessop in Phoenix. Jeffs’ criminal defense team has asked her to bring copies of “any recordings of any phone calls between yourself and Rozita Swinton,” the woman suspected of making the hoax call that launched the raid.
The FLDS leader’s attorneys also seek phone call recordings between Jessop and Arizona and Texas law enforcement and child welfare officials.
Jessop told the Deseret News earlier this year she received numerous calls from Swinton, who claimed to be an abused, pregnant teenager trapped in a marriage to an older man on the YFZ Ranch. Jessop said she went to law enforcement when she began to believe the calls were a hoax.
