Elizabeth Smart Testimony Against Brian David Mitchell

Seven years after her horrifying abduction, Elizabeth Smart is testifying against her kidnapper Brian David Mitchell, who abducted her when she was 14 at knife point and held her hostage for nine months in 2002.

Smart, now 21, was taken from her family's home, allegedly by Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee, in order to fulfill a religious prophecy.

Smart revealed for the first time how her kidnapper raped her daily, using religion as a justification.

Here's a part of the testimony:

Tolman (the prosecutor): Did you ever get a break from being raped by the defendant?

Smart: Yes, when Wanda would get very upset with her, she said all you do is lust after her. In order to calm Wanda down, he would say, 'I've received a revelation,' but there wasn't an actual 24-hour period he wasn't able to rape me.

U.S. attorney for Utah Brian Tolman coaxed Smart into describing how the nightmare began:

Smart: He came into my room and held a knife to my throat and threatened me with my life and my family's life to come with him.

Tolman: Did he do anything ... ?

Smart: Yes, he placed his hand on my chest. He then put the knife up to my neck. He told me to get up quietly and if I didn't then he would kill me and my family.

Smart also told the court about a sick "wedding" ceremony Mitchell performed the night he abducted her.

Tolman: What was the first thing he did to you when he took you to the camp?

Smart: He ... (pause) ... He took me inside where Wanda was then tried to force me to bathe. After arguing with her, she eventually just proceeded to wash my feet and told me to change out of my pajamas into a robe type of garment. And when I refused she said if I didn't she would have Brian Mitchell come rip my pajamas off. I put the robe on in which he came and performed a ceremony which was to marry me to him. After that, he proceeded to rape me.

Tolman: In those early days, what did he do to ensure you didn't escape?

Smart: He had a big bolt with a cable strung between two trees that had a lock with a key. The cable was bolted to my leg, and that was connected to two trees that was connected to both cables.
