THE FORENSIC PANEL 224 W. 30 TH ST., SUITE . 806 NEW YORK , NY 10001 TEL : 212.535.9286 FAX : 212.535.3259 MICHAEL WELNER , M.D., CHAIRMAN Brett L. Tolman United States Attorney 185 South State St. Suite 300 Salt Lake City, UT 84111 U.S. vs. Brian David Mitchell June 16, 2009 Dear Mr. Tolman, Pursuant to your request, I have conducted a peer-reviewed forensic psychiatric examination of the above defendant. He is a 55 year old native of Utah charged with kidnapping, kidnapping of a minor, and unlawful transportation of a minor. Brian Mitchell is accused of seizing Elizabeth Smart, then fourteen, and taking her into the mountain wilderness with his wife Wanda Mitchell and then, to Southern California. In the time span preceding Brian Mitchell’s capture, he is alleged to have engaged in forced sex with Elizabeth. Subsequent to his arrest, three examiners filed reports on his competency. On August 30, 2004, with reports having been filed by all expert witnesses, defense and prosecution agreed that Mr. Mitchell was competent to engage in plea negotiations. When plea negotiations failed, the defense modified its position on competency. After competency proceedings in early 2005 in which expert witness mental health professionals testified, Mr. Mitchell was declared incompetent to stand trial in Utah state court on July 22, 2005 by Judge Judith Atherton. On October 10, 2008, the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court of Utah. The United States’ Attorney’s Office subsequently referred this matter to The Forensic Panel for an independent assessment of the following questions: 1) Does Mr. Mitchell have the capacity and ability to understand the charges against him? Does the defendant have a rational as well as a factual understanding of the proceedings against him? What evidence speaks to these issues? 2) Does Mr. Mitchell have sufficient present ability to consult to his attorney, with a reasonable degree of rational understanding? What evidence speaks to this issue? Re: Brian Mitchell The Forensic Panel – Michael Welner, M.D. June 16, 2009 Page 2 of 206 3) Does Mr. Mitchell have the capacity and ability to assist in his defense? What evidence speaks to this issue? 4) Does Mr. Mitchell meet criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis? What is that diagnosis(es) or constructs? 5) How do the above diagnoses speak to Mr. Mitchell’s decision-making in these proceedings, and in his relatedness to others? 6) What is the relationship of religious zeal of a fundamentalist adherent to Mormon doctrines to diagnostic questions? 7) Does Mr. Mitchell have a mental condition in which he does not have a sufficient contact with reality? What evidence speaks to this issue? 8) Does Mr. Mitchell have the ability to perceive accurately, interpreting and responding appropriately to the world around him? What evidence speaks to this issue? 9) Does Mr. Mitchell’s have capacity to knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waive the insanity defense? What evidence speaks to this issue?

For yourself Today, some people do not eat meat because of the way animals are treated, and others avoid certain food because of slave labour in the fields in which it is grown, or corruption in its distribution. Pray about these things and any concerns you may have about what you eat 2. For your friends and family Pray for those you love and pray especially about any attitudes or phobias concerning the eating of food 3. For the church and its work Pray for the church’s work amongst farming communities, which today, can be very sparse and very isolated 4. For your neighbourhood, your country and the world (News) Pray about the dreadful use of child slave labour in West African countries, where Chocolate is grown.

Willis: The Biblical Testimony of Joseph: the Immanuel Perspective The Biblical Testimony of Joseph: the Immanuel Perspective John T. Willis mmanuel stands at the forefront of Christian thought. This word appears often in sermons, religious books, religious articles, songs, church classes, and common daily conversation. The word Immanuel is a Ivery ancient Hebrew word meaning literally “with us is God.” It falls into three parts. The most important element is El, which means “God.” God is at the heart of every biblical account. Thus, in the expression Immanuel, the emphasis is on God. Manu means “us,” biblically denoting God’s chosen people Israel. Im means “with,” a tiny but very important preposition denoting nearness or close association. (The Greek equivalent of “with” is sun [syn], sul [syl], sum [sym], from which English receives many familiar words like synagogue, “a gathering together”; Sanhedrin, “council”; sympathy, “suffering with”; symphony, “harmony of sounds”; and syllogism, “reckoning with.”) The testimony or account of Joseph in Genesis 37, 39—50 emphasizes that God was with Joseph at every stage of his life.
  • Isaiah 62:1-5 Every So Often We Hear the Rumors That Jesus Was Married

    Isaiah 62:1-5 Every So Often We Hear the Rumors That Jesus Was Married

    Sermon Lesson: Isaiah 62:1-5 Every so often we hear the rumors that Jesus was married. A number of years ago, there was a bestselling book and a hit movie in which Jesus was secretly married to Mary Magdalene. Supposedly, they had a child, whose bloodline still exists today and the church has covered it up for centuries. It’s just not true. The Bible gives no indication that Jesus was married, but plenty of evidence to the contrary. It’s not that Jesus took a vow of celibacy thinking that it’s more pleasing to God to remain single than to get married. From Bethlehem, he had the world’s salvation in mind and wouldn’t be distracted from that goal. But that doesn’t mean Jesus looked down on marriage, either. He took time out of his busy schedule to attend the wedding at Cana and blessed it with his first miracle. Throughout Scripture he pictures his relationship with his people as that of a husband and wife. Today, through Isaiah, the Lord tells us that he Takes Pride in his Bride. She is the crown of his splendor and is called by a new name. Isaiah gives us the maiden name of Christ’s bride: “Zion and Jerusalem.” Jerusalem, of course, was the capital city of Israel and the home of God’s temple. Zion was one of the hills on which Jerusalem was built. With unbridled enthusiasm the Lord declares that he “will not keep silent” about the righteousness and purity of his people. His beautiful bride shines like a gorgeous sunrise or like a blazing torch cutting through the darkness of night.
