Smart, 23, reportedly stormed out of the courtroom when a psychiatrist testifying in Mitchell's defense said he had been motivated to kidnap Smart because of his desire to have children and create a new race.

Forensic psychiatrist Paul Whitehead claims he obtained such information from journals of Mitchell's estranged wife, Wanda Barzee, according to KSL-TV. Whitehead testified that he believes Mitchell suffers from a "major psychotic illness" and a personality disorder.

KSL-TV reports that Whitehead testified: "Mitchell was talking to Miss Smart about having babies to the point that Smart actually picked out a name if that happened."

This guy is probably faking it seizure and all. They knew the girl hadn't started menstruating yet. So where was the baby going to come from??? He just liked taking a pure girl.

I feel for her, having to re-live this again. Stay strong! May justice be served. This guy deserves to be caged up for the years he took away from this woman.

My heart goes out to that poor girl...I hope this ends soon so she can put it behind her..unfortunately idiots are sprinkled all over and sometimes we don't get justice and it is sad when others will defend them.

As for the pregnancy "story" it is a lie. This child, who was 14 at the time, had not started menstruating and therefore could not have become pregnant. Both the kidnapper and his ugly wife knew full well of this. They are both liars.
