Elizabeth Smart Tells All After 281 Days In Captivity Pt. 3
About this episode
Elizabeth Smart recounts her harrowing experience of captivity and the trial of her captor, Brian Mitchell.
Brian Mitchell spent years singing hymns in court, disrupting hearings, and faking insanity to avoid standing trial for what he did to Elizabeth Smart. It took nearly a decade to get him in front of a jury. When Elizabeth finally took the stand, she described nine months of daily assault, a cable padlocked around her ankle, and threats against her family that kept her silent even when rescue was within reach. The jury deliberated for less than a day. This episode contains descriptions of kidnapping, child sexual abuse, and captivity.
