With Warren Jeffs being moved to a solitary Texas prison cell today, it seems as good a time as any to launch the Jeffs trial coverage summary I've been putting together. It should be a good quick-reference guide and another step on my own (long) road to self-organization.

Also today, David Darger and Jake Barlow were arraigned on multiple misuse of public money charges in Arizona.
