British Columbia Seeks New Prosecutor To Pursue Polygamist Community

The Canadian province of British Columbia is hunting for a new special prosecutor to pursue potential criminal charges against members of the polygamous community of Bountiful.

Vancouver lawyer Richard Peck has informed the province that he no longer desires to serve in that role, Attorney-General Shirley Bond said Monday in a statement.

“I made my decision on this case four-and-a-half years ago – the government decided to go in a different direction and I decided I wasn’t going to be involved any more,” Peck said on Monday.
