CRANBROOK, B.C. — A judge has admitted into evidence records that were seized at a religious compound in the trial of a man connected with a British Columbia polygamist community who is charged with removing a child from Canada to marry a member of the fundamentalist sect in the United States.
Oler, the former leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is being tried by judge alone after the B.C. Court of Appeal ordered a new trial. In admitting the documents, Devlin said: “I preface my remarks by reminding everyone that I’m only dealing with the admissibility of the documents at this point, and not with respect to their ultimate reliability and weight that should be attached or attributed to them at the conclusion of the trial.”
