Captor kept me on tether, Elizabeth Smart testifies

This story is about Elizabeth Smarts testimony against her abductor. Smart tells a court about how she was abducted at knife point while sleeping next to her sister. Mitchell, the man who abducted Smart, was not in the court room because of his behavior. Mitchell was in a private room where he watched Smart testify on video. Smart told the court how Mitchell take her to a wooded area where he preformed a wedding ceremony and then raped her. Over the next 9 months Mitchell abused and raped Smart 3 to 4 times a day. Mitchell would keep her tether to a cable that was attached to two trees. Smart also forced to take drugs and drink alcohol. Mitchell claims that all his actions were justified by his religious beliefs. Smart nightmare ended when someone noticed her walking down the street with Mitchell and his wife.

My first question is where does a freak like this find a wife that is as crazy as he is. This guy shouldn't even get a trial, and he shouldn't pass go. He should just go to jail. A man like this needs to be castrated and locked up for ever. Mitchell is mentally ill and can't be fixed. At this age it makes me wonder how many times he's done this before and nobody know about it.

This is a very scary thought to think that someone can just sneak in your house and steal your child. As a father of four it makes me sick to my stomach to think that it could happen to one of my kids. Mr. Smart is a much stronger person then I am, because if it where one of my kids Mitchell would never have to worry about go to jail I would. There is nothing in this world that is more important then my family and for someone to hurt them in such a way would be, well I don't think there are words to describe. I think that Smart is a has a very strong soul, because some people would not have had the will to survive.

So god bless Elizabeth Smart and I wish all the best for her and family.
