A psychiatrist is expected in federal court Monday to discuss the religious writings of Elizabeth Smart s alleged abductor, a self-proclaimed prophet who is said to have claimed in his work that she went with him willingly as a young girl and with the permission of her parents.Brian David Mitchell drafted the  Book of Immanuel David Isaiah II  after his arrest and interrogations by police in March 2003, according to Dr.  <a href=https://www.stanley-cup.ca>stanley cup</a> Michael Welner, of New York. In the work, Mitchell addresses the charges levied against him and writes that no weapons or violence were used when Smart was taken from her home in June 2002. He clothes his defense in a religious document,  Welner said Friday in U.S. District Court.  But it s <a href=https://www.stanleycups.at>stanley cup</a>  advocacy, he s making his best argument.                                         Welner has been paid $500,000 to evaluate Mitchell for federal prosecutors. A 10-day hearing is being held in Salt Lake City to determine whether Mitchell, 56, is competent to stand trial. The competency hearing enters its second week Monday.Welner said the  Book of Immanuel David Isaiah II  is an addendum to a 27-page manifesto written a few months before Smart s abduction.        That tome, the  Book of Immanuel David Isaiah,  outlines Mitchell s beliefs, drawing heavily from the Bible and the Book of Mormon, while also including ideas from a New Age spiritualist, a lymphologist and other writers.Mitche <a href=https://www.stanley-cup.ca>stanley mug</a> ll, who claimed in his first book that God had made him head of The Church of Jesus Christ  Xewl Frantic search for bedridden Joplin woman, 86
