BC is still trying to prosecute the polygamists at Bountiful but the new special prosecutor is taking a slightly approach.

"If we proceed [to laying criminal charges], the bulk of evidence would be how polygamy affects people in society in general, not simply the way it is practised in Bountiful."

The prosecution would be required to call witnesses to satisfy the court "that in fact the degree of harm, social harm resulting from polygamy per se - not just in Bountiful - is such that criminalizing it is justifiable in a free and democratic society. That is the main argument, as I see it," Mr. Robertson said.
