Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff clarified Thursday that it was not the FLDS Church but another polygamous sect that prayed for his death after his motorcycle accident last year. It was unclear about which group he was speaking at a Salt Lake County Bar Association-sponsored debate titled "From Hildale to Eldorado" on Wednesday.

Shurtleff, however, said Thursday he has received information from a confidential informant that FLDS leaders urged members to pray for his "destruction" prior to the accident.
