Jeffs Seeks Judge's Recusal Based on Revelation From God

In San Angelo, Texas, the sexual assault trial of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs continues.  Yesterday, for the third time, Jeffs attempted to disqualify Judge Barbara Walther.  As reported by the Deseret News, this time Jeffs based his motion on what he said was a revelation from the Lord on Sunday.  Addressing himself directly to the judge, Jeffs said: "I, your lord, say to you, I shall bring to light your evil intent now, before all people, to destroy my Church on earth."  Jeffs' recusal motion contained an appendix containing what he said were revelations to the 19th century Mormon leader Joseph Smith and 29 Orders from the Lord.
