The community has always stood behind me during my last 12 years in office ... so I've always done well. After this operation, the citizens still stand behind me. The community during this operation, and there was a time for need, we called for that help the community came out in droves and brought love, volunteerism, monetary donations, shelter. The whole community came out and supported law enforcement and supported the women and children out here.

If nothing else, this has drawn the community closer.

Deseret News: Is there concern this will be thrown out, the fruit of the poisonous tree?

Doran: Law enforcement went in there at the request of CPS, they acted on good faith. The second search warrant was produced because there was obvious evidence in plain sight of crimes, that's acting on the second scope of the search. I feel that law enforcement will be fine on that.

I think there will be challenges, I can't speak on that. I don't believe it will hinder this investigation. That's something the Texas Ranges will be dealing with. They're the investigators and that's the burden they're going to have to prove in court.

Deseret News: What do you make of the marriage statement (pledging to no longer perform underage marriages) the FLDS put out?

Doran: All I can say is I hope that they're being honest about it and I hope that if Texas did not accomplish anything, at least we know underage children will be protected. Let's just hope they follow through with it and they're being honest about it. Time will tell.
