	Utah Considers Retrial for Jeffs By Matthew Waller San Angelo Standard Times July 28, 2010 http://www.gosanangelo.com/news/2010/jul/28/utah-its-texas-move-on-jeffs/ SAN ANGELO, Texas — Whether or not a retrial happens in Utah for Warren Jeffs, the former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is far from out of the fire, a legal expert says. Jeffs was convicted in 2007 on two counts of rape as an accomplice for performing a marriage of then 14-year-old Elisa Wall with Allan G. Steed. The Utah Supreme Court on Tuesday overturned the decision of the 5th District Court because of what it called faulty jury instructions from the court. “The mess up in the instructions of the jury was to identify the actor as Jeffs and not Steed,” Texas Tech School of Law professor Dan Benson said.
