A jury trial in Colorado for the woman declared a "person of interest" in the phone call that sparked the raid on the Fundamentalist LDS Church’s YFZ Ranch has been delayed again.
During a hearing in a Colorado Springs court on Wednesday, court records show the trial for Rozita Swinton, 34, on a charge unrelated to the Texas raid was vacated and rescheduled to begin Aug. 31. Swinton is charged with a misdemeanor count of false reporting, accusing her of pretending to be a sexually abused teenage girl in Colorado Springs who was chained in a basement.

I can’t believe how our major news networks seem to be ignoring this part of the story. It was all the major news outlets could talk about when they thought it was a genuine report. But they are failing to report about the allegations of a false report. Leaving the American people with only half the story.
I do not understand why they have delayed the trial. Personally I believe it should be more than a misdemeanor after everything the children and families have gone through.
If convicted is it possible for these families to sue this woman for the emotional distress they have been put through???
