Wall's lawyer, Roger Hoole, and the custodian of records for a Utah-based group that helps children leaving the FLDS communities are also being sought for testimony. So is Lisa Pulitzer, Wall's co-author for a book she recently authored on her life in the polygamous sect and her decision to testify against Jeffs.

Jeffs' lawyers are demanding to see "book contracts, drafts of manuscripts of the proposed book, and any other financial benefits she received, agreements to provide information related to the events associated with this matter, including book deals or appearance fees, and any related payments or expenses."

Police reports and medical reports in the other case are also sought, as well as the personnel file of Mohave County Attorney's investigator Gary Engels, who has pursued the criminal cases against Jeffs in Arizona.

"Defendant may use any or all of the tapes and/or transcripts which were made of the conversations between the agents, confidential informant and defendant," Jeffs' attorneys wrote.
