The a jury was seated in Eldorado, TX, late Wednesday for the trial of Allan Eugene Keate. Keate will be the second member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints to stand trial on a charge of child sexual
assault as an outcome of the state’s historic April 2008 raid on the
Yearning for Zion Ranch in Schleicher County. Following jury selection Wednesday, 51st District Judge Barbara Walther accepted motions from the
lawyers and approved one to exempt expert witnesses from the rule that
normally excludes them from being seated in the courtroom and listening
to the testimony of other witnesses.
Last month in the same makeshift courtroom, another FLDS member, Raymond Merril Jessop, was sentenced by a Schleicher County jury to 10 years in prison on charges similar to those brought against Keate.
