SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A court-appointed CPA has sued the family of Elissa Wall, saying they -- not a polygamous church's trust -- are responsible for her forced marriage at age 14.
Wall, the key witness in the 2007 criminal trial of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints leader Warren Jeffs, filed a multimillion dollar personal injury lawsuit against the United Effort Plan Trust under the initial M.J. in 2005. She is seeking compensation from the UEP's property holdings for distress suffered in her marriage.
Trust overseer Bruce Wisan, disagrees.
He field a third-party complaint in the lawsuit, saying Walls' parents, sister and her former husband are the responsible parties.
