Cook County land at center of trial as former cult member tries to recoup something of $10 million award in Utah suit against FLDS leader

Warren Jeffs is also named in the lawsuit, but he’s currently in a Texas prison where he is serving a life sentence for child sexual assault. He’s still a leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints. The 40-acre land sale was conducted, on paper, by his brother Seth Jeffs and his Montana-based LLC Emerald Industries.
