The child sexual assault trial of a polygamist sect member came to a screeching halt just before 3 p.m. today because a jurist’s child may have swine flu.

Judge Barbara Walther sent the jurors home and told her bailiff to tell the jurors the court would call them in the morning.

Walther, 51st Judicial District judge, announced that a juror’s child younger than 5 has a high temperature. Walther said they would not continue until the child gets better.
