"Some of the documents we received were helpful," Shields said of what the FBI gave up in the Seth Jeffs case. "He just had partial stuff. We think that the Warren Jeffs documents will be more complete."

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff has also expressed interest in seeing the documents, believing they may help his organized crime investigation into Jeffs and the FLDS Church.

Jeffs, 51, is charged in 5th District Court in St. George with rape as an accomplice, a first-degree felony. He is accused of forcing a 14-year-old girl into a marriage with her 19-year-old cousin. He is scheduled to face trial on those charges beginning in April.

Across the border in Mohave County, Ariz., Jeffs is facing multiple charges of sexual conduct with a minor and conspiracy to commit sexual conduct with a minor. Prosecutors there have accused him of arranging several child bride marriages.
