FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A Mohave County judge on Wed nesday dismissed all Arizona charges against polygamist leader Warren Jeffs.
Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith said the two alleged victims in the cases no longer want to proceed with prosecution in Arizona.
In his motion filed earlier Wednesday, Smith said Jeffs has already served more time in Arizona than he would receive upon conviction, more serious charges are pending against Jeffs in Texas, and Jeffs has had significant medical problems while jailed in Kingman.
Jeffs was convicted in Utah in 2007 on two counts of rape as an accomplice involving the marriage of an underage follower to her husband. Jeffs was arrested in southern Nevada in August 2006.
