I must post well-wishes to Elizabeth Smart who just finished the month long trial of her captor Brian David Mitchell. He was found guilty, not that anyone doubted his involvement in her kidnapping, but he was held accountable for his actions as opposed to being found non-guilty by reason of insanity. I believe in accountability and that such is good for individuals and society as a whole. If there needs to be treatment for mental illness I hope Brian David Mitchell will receive what is needed in prison. In the meantime, I'm happy that Smart can move on with her life, return to her LDS mission in Paris and put this horrific experience behind her. She is amazing and courageous. She hopes to take her experience and turn it into good for others. God speed Elizabeth.
