(KSL News) A raid on a Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' (FLDS) ranch will soon become a legal battle in a Texas courtroom.

We discussed the decision tonight in our Talking Point segment. David Leavitt, the former Juab County Attorney who prosecuted polygamist Tom Green, joined us.
