• Reuters

The Utah Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered a new trial of a polygamist leader of a breakaway Mormon sect, who was convicted of forcing a 14-year-old girl to marry her first cousin.

Warren Jeffs, 54, whose word was considered God's will to thousands of followers, was sentenced in November 2007 to a term of 10 years to life in prison.
