Dear Friends: Claiming that he was a "minister for the Lord" living with his "wife and daughter," the man suspected of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart told a California judge last month that his February 12 arrest for vandalizing a San Diego church "was the worst night and the worst week of my whole life." Brian David Mitchell, the 49-year-old drifter who allegedly held the Utah teenager captive for nine months, claimed that "for the first time in 22 years I got drunk that night and the whole night was just a nightmare." Mitchell then compared his brief incarceration to "Jonah getting swallowed by the whale." TSG has exclusively obtained an audiotape of Mitchell's sentencing hearing, during which he claimed his legal run-in had "turned me right around and, and I know I need to do what the Lord wants me to do with my life."
