14-year-old Elizabeth Smart was asleep in her bedroom when she was kidnapped at knifepoint in 2002, and for the nine months following that she was sexually assaulted almost daily. She was finally rescued by police authorities, and this past Tuesday, 23-year-old Smart finally took the stand in court to talk about her horrifying ordeal. ABC News details what Smart said about her kidnapper. "His name is Brian David Mitchell. The family had helped him out by giving him work as a handyman. Elizabeth says he forced her from home to a makeshift campsite he kept with his wife, Wanda Barzee. 'He forced me off the bucket and into the bed that they had where he proceeded to force the robes off where he raped me.'" CNN writes that Smart also recalled an incident where she was almost rescued months earlier, but because she was scared of what Mitchell would do to her or her family, she didn't take the opportunity to escape. "'The man introduced himself as a homicide detective. "He wanted me to remove the veil so he could see my face," said Smart. She recalled Barzee's hand clenching her leg and interpreted it as a warning not to say or do anything... Mitchell told him that looking under her veil "was not allowed in our religion. Only my husband would ever see my face in my religion," Smart testified. He told the detective she was his daughter', she said...The detective left, Smart said, and "I felt like hope was walking out the door."' MSNBC reports that Mitchell is not a very ...

Testifying for nearly six hours in a steady voice, Elizabeth Smart told a rapt audience that she was so terrified of her abductor that on the day police found her, she told them she was someone else. (Nov. 10)
Smart's decision to not reveal herself to a police officer is no surprise to experts, who say her behavior fits a known pattern for those under the control of rapists and kidnappers.
In this week's edition of the Mero Moment, Sutherland Institute President Paul T. Mero discusses the ongoing trial of Brian David Mitchell, the man accused of kidnapping and raping Elizabeth Smart nine years ago in Salt Lake City. In his commentary, Mero laments the length of time it is taking to prosecute Mitchell and the tactics being used by defense attorneys in an attempt to defend Mitchell's hideous actions.
Defense questions suspect's competency to stand trial
A 19-year-old man was shot to death early Monday morning in what appears to be a case of self-defense. Now his suspected accomplice in the burglary attempt has been booked into jail.
Elizabeth Smart took the witness stand Monday, on the second day of the trial for her accused kidnapper, Brian David Mitchell. Day two wrapped around 2 pm with Smart still on the stand.

Elizabeth Smart and her family took the stand on Monday to testify against her accused kidnapper, Brian David Mitchell. Her testimony revealed vivid details of what happened the night she was abducted from her Utah home in 2002. (Nov. 8).
"A federal appeals court cleared the way Friday for the trial of Brian David Mitchell, the man charged with kidnapping Elizabeth Smart. Mitchell, 57, is charged with grabbing the then-14-year-old Smart at knife-point from her home in Salt Lake City on June 5th, 2002. The trial will resume Monday at 8:30 am, the court said Friday despite efforts by the defense to have the trial relocated to another city, arguing ""serious error and irreparable harm"" could come from the various juror's belief in Mitchell's ""factual guilt"" prior to actually hearing the evidence."
Singer-actress Miley Cyrus and boyfriend, ""Last Song"" co-star Liam Hemsworth, have broken up, People.com reports Friday. A source close to the matter said, ""Their on-again off-again relationship is currently off. But you never know with Miley and Liam. They could be back on at some point."" A source close to 20-year-old Hemsworth added, ""There was no drama. The relationship just ran its course. They were good friends first and remain friends."" Cyrus, who turns 18 on November 23rd, is also dealing with another break-up - that of her parents. Her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, filed for divorce last week from his wife of 17 years, Tish Cyrus, who is rumored to have had an affair with singer Bret Michaels.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has granted a motion by the defense to stay the trial of Brian David Mitchell.
