KINGMAN, Ariz. (AP) - An Arizona county attorney prosecuting polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs said today he'll oppose any attempt by Jeffs' defense to prohibit use of evidence seized during a raid on the sect's Texas compound.

Jeffs awaits trial in Arizona on four counts of being an accomplice to sexual conduct with a minor. Those charges stem from the marriages of two teenage girls and their adult male relatives.

Jeffs defense attorney told the judge presiding over the Arizona case that evidence from the Texas raid should be barred on the grounds that the raid was based on a call that Texas authorities should have known was a hoax.

But the Mohave county attorney today that he believes that Texas authorities acted in good faith in their April raid on the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints compound.

He says that if they get information and it later turns out to be false, it doesn't necessarily invalidate the search warrant.
