SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A spokesman for the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was in state court Thursday to ask a judge if members can ultimately own their homes, now held by a state-managed church trust.
A state-appointed accountant has managed the $110 million United Effort Plan Trust for three years.
Judge Denise Lindberg on Thursday told Willie Jessop members can own their own homes but there are some restrictions. She also sought to assure him there is no bias against the church in the management of the trust.
