Elizabeth Smart's kidnapper/rapist gets life in prison
The cult-like monster who kidnapped Elizabeth Smart in Utah nearly a decade ago (and read here for some more related info) has gotten life in the dungeon for his violent crimes:
Let's hope Mitchell gets a purely isolated cell to stay in for his savagery.
Nearly nine years after she was abducted at knifepoint from her bed, Elizabeth Smart watched Wednesday as a federal judge ordered a street preacher to spend the rest of his life in prison for kidnapping and raping her while holding her captive for months.The very same could surely be said for Muhammed, the false prophet of Islam: that he was driven by desire for power, forced sex, violence, etc, but not by genuine religious beliefs.
The sentencing of Brian David Mitchell closed a major legal chapter in the heartbreaking ordeal that stalled for years after Mitchell was declared mentally ill and unfit to stand trial in state court.
“I know that you know what you did is wrong,” Smart said to Mitchell, who sang quietly in the courtroom. “You took away nine months of my life that can never be returned.”
U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball handed down two life sentences for Mitchell at the hearing in Salt Lake City. A jury earlier unanimously convicted the 57-year-old Mitchell in December of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor across state lines for sex. [...]
On Wednesday, her father spoke to the man who kidnapped his daughter
“Exploitation of religion is not a defense,” Ed Smart said. “You put Elizabeth through nine months of psychological hell.” [...]
Smart, who described her captor as vulgar and self-serving, testified that she believed Mitchell was driven by his desire for sex, drugs and alcohol, not by any sincere religious beliefs.
Let's hope Mitchell gets a purely isolated cell to stay in for his savagery.
