SALT LAKE CITY — Defense attorneys for Brian David Mitchell contend Elizabeth Smart, who was 14 when she was abducted and raped daily by their client, really didn't suffer extreme psychological injury during her nine months in captivity. In court documents filed May 6, Mitchell's attorneys say they do not agree Smart suffered "extreme psychological injury ... since its application is directly contradicted by the testimony of Ms. Smart and argument by the government, who vigorously argued that Ms. Smart is a 'survivor' who has not been psychologically injured more than other victims of the offenses at issue."

... Because getting raped daily and kidnapped at 14 is totally something that wouldn't damage someones mind
