The attorney for FLDS member Allen Steed wants to force Washington County prosecutors to share evidence they gathered in the Warren Jeffs trial.
Steed is charged with raping underage bride Elissa Wall who was at the center of the Jeffs "rape-as-an-accomplice" trial.
Attorney Jim Bradshaw says evidence against Jeffs was gathered by multiple agencies both inside and outside Utah.
And since that same evidence was used to charge Steed his defense team is entitled to it.
Washington County Attorney Brock Belnap says the only information they're keeping from the defense is work papers that contain opinions from attorneys in his office.
Bradshaw also wants to see financial records that show how much money Elissa Wall received from the victim reparation fund and a book publisher.
Steed's preliminary hearing is set for a week from Wednesday.
