Canadian Provincial AG Again Considering Charges Against FLDS
Despite recommendations by two earlier special prosecutors that charges not be filed until the law is clarified, the Canadian Press reported yesterday that British Columbia Attorney General Wally Oppal is appointing yet another special prosecutor to determine whether polygamy and sexual abuse charges should be brought against members of the FLDS community in Bountiful, B.C. One of the children taken into custody by Texas officials after their raid on an FLDS compound was a teen age girl from Bountiful. Attorney Terrence Robertson has been appointed to the special prosecutor position. (See prior related posting.)
