Court observers were shocked yesterday by the appearance of Warren Jeffs and by a report that Jeffs may have made a jailhouse confession denying he was ever a prophet.
You would think the people would be interested in what's going on with the man they think is a prophet. But there's one problem: the faithful are forbidden from reading the news paper or watching television.
Sam Brower, a private investigator said Jeffs looked "much worse for wear" and more gaunt.

After the trial, his followers weren't talking. Very few of the FLDS followers are aware of Jeffs' reported confession or his apparent fragile health.
Issac Wiler from Colorado City says he thinks some in the FLDS are moving away from Warren Jeffs. He says that some people are listening to Wendell Nielsen, Jeffs' first counselor, who might become Jeffs' successor.
Stay tuned to ABC 4 tonight at 10 when Brent Hunsaker tells us what changes are unfolding in the polygamist border towns and if they're for the better.
