	Jeffs' Conviction: A Winning Legal Ploy - TIME
		The conviction of religious leader Warren Jeffs — self-proclaimed Prophet to the largest polygamist group in North America — was a victory for a new tactic being used by prosecutors in western states.
		Jeffs, who heads the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (FLDS), was found guilty of two counts of being an accomplice to the rape of a 14-year-old girl, known throughout the trial as "Jane Doe IV," by forcing her into marriage with her first cousin, Allen Steed.
		During his summation, Jeffs' lawyer Walter Bugden said the 51-year-old leader was being prosecuted for his religious beliefs and described the victim, Elissa Walls, now 21, who publicly revealed her identity on the last day of the trial, as "no shrinking violet" and her husband, first cousin Allen Steed as a "milquetoast" not a rapist.
