A judge has denied a request to have Arizona’s case against polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs sent back to a grand jury.

Jeffs’ attorney Michael Piccaretta had argued that Jeffs was denied a fair and unbiased grand jury, and that the prosecution presented false or misleading evidence to the grand jury.

Mohave County Judge Steven Conn ruled against Jeffs on Monday.

Piccaretta also plans to ask the judge to bar evidence seized during a raid on the sect’s Texas ranch at Jeff’s trial in Arizona. Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith had said he believed the actions of Texas authorities were appropriate and constitutional.

Jeffs awaits trial in Arizona on four counts of being an accomplice to sexual conduct with a minor.
