Interviews with three Texas law enforcement officers may not have garnered Warren Jeffs’ attorneys the information they were looking for, but it may have revealed another surprise. A federal grand jury may be investigating the April raid of the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Eldorado, Texas.In November, Mohave County Superior Court Judge Steven Conn ordered three Texas law enforcement officers – Texas Ranger Brooks Long, Schleicher County Sheriff David Doran and Deputy John Connor – to submit to interviews from Jeffs’ attorneys, Richard Wright and Michael Piccarreta.
According to transcripts from the November interviews, the Texas Attorney General’s Office refused to allow at least two officers, Doran and Long, to respond to any questions about the investigation of the phone calls that led to the raid, confidential informants and anything after April 9 concerning the raid.
Long may have revealed the reason why during his interview with the two attorneys.
“I can’t comment on that (the investigation into the phone calls) because I would be violating federal law in reference to that particular question,” Long said.
“And what, why is that, because …” Piccarreta asked.
“Because I’m on a 6(e) list,” Long said, referring to federal rules governing grand jury secrecy.
“A grand jury list,” Piccarreta said.
“Yes,” Long said.
