...wind," transient and hard to find. But William E. Jessop, the man on the receiving end of Jeffs's 2007 jailhouse conversation, lives openly in Hildale, Utah, an FLDS community. He is described as "respected as bishop in the FLDS religion" in dossiers compiled around Jeff's trial and sent by Utah law enforcement to Texas officials to help with their case against the Eldorado polygamists. As for Jessop's prestige, his portrait can be found hanging in some FLDS homes, though perhaps not as ubiquitous as Jeffs's.

...been destablizing enough to dethrone him. None of the men mentioned as potential Prophets compare in stature, influence and charisma to Warren Jeffs.

For the second day this week, the 56-year-old woman is on trial for her alleged involvement in the celebrated disappearance and resurfacing of her husband, John Darwin, a.k.a. Canoeman. As the alleged accomplice to a monumental subterfuge, she faces five counts of obtaining money by deception and one of obtaining property by deception, all of which she denies.

...months after the OCRC issued its report alleging racial discrimination, Muskingum County decided that the residents of Coal Run finally qualified for water. By January 2004, the last pipelines were laid, but the discrimination trial was already in motion. Resident after resident testified about years of personal conversations held with city and county officials who did nothing to keep their promises to help. Kennedy, Hairston and two other residents stated that in 2001, Muskingum County Commissioner Dorothy Montgomery told them that even their "grandchildren's grandchildren would not have water." Montgomery could not be reached, but Landes says she denies...
