Prosecutor of Warren Jeffs case honored
PHOENIX — A prosecutor who is trying a case against Fundamentalist LDS Church leader Warren Jeffs is being honored for his efforts to help abuse victims.
The Arizona Attorney General's Office said Monday that Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith is being recognized as part of National Crime Victims' Rights Week for "the support he has given to victims of abuse in Colorado City, Ariz." He is being given an award of special recognition, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard's office said.
Smith is prosecuting Jeffs on sexual misconduct charges, accusing him of performing underage marriages. Jeffs was convicted of similar charges in Utah.
