San Angelo, USA - The judge in the child sex assault and bigamy trial of polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs will be staying on the case, despite his lawyers' complaint about the judge's body language.
A district judge in West Texas Tuesday denied a motion from Jeff's defense team to remove presiding judge Barbara Walther on the grounds that her body language biased jurors during trials of other sect members.
In a subsequent hearing, the defense for Jeffs, the ecclesiastical head of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, asked to delay the start of the trial now set for July 25. There's been no ruling on that motion or a change-of-venue request.
