Drifter accused of kidnapping sings in court
Man charged in Elizabeth Smart case removed from competency hearing

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- The drifter and self-proclaimed prophet accused of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart was removed from his competency hearing Wednesday for singing a religious song -- the third time he has done that in court in recent months.

Brian David Mitchell, 51, and his wife, Wanda Barzee, 59, are charged with kidnapping, sexual assault and burglary counts in the 2002 abduction of the Utah teenager. The competency hearing continued without him.

Last month, Judge Judith Atherton delayed his hearing after Mitchell began singing "Repent for the kingdom of Heaven's at hand."

Atherton ordered the competency hearings after Mitchell sang a Christmas hymn during a court appearance in December.

Prosecutors say Mitchell took Elizabeth into the foothills near her home, sexually assaulted her and kept her as his second wife.

An excommunicated Mormon, Mitchell once wrote a rambling manifesto espousing the virtues of polygamy.

He's also charged in the attempted abduction of Elizabeth's cousin seven weeks after Elizabeth's kidnapping.

Mitchell's wife has been declared incompetent for trial and is being treated at a state mental health facility.
 
This is the song he sang in court.


Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow but the children
know how he came to life one day
There must have been some magic in that
old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
he began to dance around
Oh
Frosty the snowman
was alive as he could be
And the children say he could laugh
and play just the same as you and me
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpetty thump thump
thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow
 
this is ridulious.

they are just letting him go just because of some reglionous song? that's such an poor excuse when he commited such horrible crimes to a young girl and they only let him off the hook during the hearings just because he's reglionous? BIG deal! anyone can be reglionous, but that's still no excuse just to let him go do his little thing like a song and I find it plain stupid that they let him do that, when he did some even more stupid things to kids. If I was the judge, I wouldn't let him go ANYWHERE expect in jail and court, that's it.
 
Read it again. It does not say they are letting him go. They are trying to determine if he is competent to stand trial.
