*SHOCK: ELIZABETH SMART SAYS SHE WAS RAPED DAILY: * It was a moment six years in the making. Elizabeth Smart took the stand at U.S. District Court Thursday during a competency hearing for her accused kidnapper Brian David Mitchell.
For two hours, the 21-year-old recounted the details from the nine months she was held in captivity. She testified Brian David Mitchell came into her bedroom on the night of June 5, 2002, held a knife to her throat and told her to get up quietly, or he'd kill her and her family. She said he told her to get her shoes on. When she reached for slip-on shoes, he told her to get some tennis shoes. She asked him why he was taking her. She said he told her he was taking her hostage and keeping her for ransom. She then said that was a lie. She testified that Mitchell raped her on a daily basis, three to four times a day. She said, "There was no actual 24-hour period where he wasn't able to rape me." She said for the nine months that she was held captive, the dominant focus for Mitchell was sex. She said he gave her alcohol and drugs to lower her resistance. He also made her watch pornography. He said it was to humble her. She recalled a time when she vomited from too much alcohol, and Mitchell forced her to lie face down in it, saying it would show her "true state." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WebTV Dawgs/Dittos" group.
