In 2002, while suffering from delusions, Brian David Mitchell kidnapped young Elizabeth Smart. He was apprehended 9 months later (Smart was found alive and returned to her parents) and continued to have delusions. In 2009, he had yet to be found competent to stand trial. A judge had ruled against forcing Mitchell to take medication in order to be competent to stand trial because the judge did not believe that the treatment would succeed (Carlisle, 2009). In 2010, he was found guilty.
