Elizabeth Smart’s Mother Faced Kidnapper

Now a Mormon misionary in France, Elizabeth Smart is an American woman who survived a nine-month kidnapping and is now a political activist. More than seven years after the abduction of Smart, one of her abductors was sentenced last Friday to 15 years imprisonment by a federal judge. Wanda Barzee apologized to Elizabeth’s family during the sentencing hearing in Salt Lake City. Barzee pleaded guilty in helping Brian David Mitchell kidnap Smart, then 14, from her Salt Lake City home in 2002. “I know the gravity of my crimes and how serious they are,” said Barzee, 64. “I’m just so sorry again for all the pain and suffering I caused upon the Smart family.” Previously, Smart’s mom Lois had scolded Barzee, telling her, “What you did to Elizabeth and our family was wrong and evil.” “You hurt our family in ways you’ll never know,” Lois Smart said. “It was unconscionable what you did to [Elizabeth]. I hope you will be able to make peace with your maker.” U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball gave Barzee seven years of credit for time she has already served and ordered her to spend the rest of her term at a medical and psychiatric center for female federal prisoners in Texas. In exchange for the sentence, Barzee agreed to testify against Mitchell, whose trial is slated to begin this November. Mitchell, 56, is accused of abducting Smart at knifepoint from her bed and forcing her to become his plural wife. Smart was held for nine months by Mitchell and Barzee in the Salt Lake City foothills and San Diego area before their arrest in 2003 when they were spotted walking with Smart in a Salt Lake City suburb. After the hearing, Elizabeth’s father Ed Smart said his daughter didn’t feel that Barzee’s sentence was “strong enough.” RELATED: Elizabeth Smart Testifies About Her Abduction Ordeal in Horrifying Detail “It is what it is,” he said with a sigh. “We’re just glad this part is over.” Elizabeth Smart’s Mother Faced Kidnapper is a post from: Daily World Buzz Continue reading

Who invited Mischa Barton and Paris Hilton?!? We didn’t even know these two washed-up stars still existed, at least not beyond Hilton’s occasional, pressing relationship updates . But here they are, which at least gives readers a chance to answer one important question once and for all: Who would you rather put it to?

Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant Dropped

A rep for the actress posts $100,000 bond. By Kara Warner Lindsay Lohan Photo: Stephen Shugerman/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan will not be sent to jail, for now. Thanks to $100,000 posted by a representative for the troubled actress, the warrant for her arrest was withdrawn on Thursday evening (May 20). According to Los Angeles Sheriff spokesman Steve Whitemore, Lohan’s lawyer must appear in court Monday morning when a judge will set the date for her probation-revocation hearing. It is not clear if Lohan is required to attend Monday’s hearing at the Beverly Hills, California, courthouse, Whitemore said. CNN reports Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel revoked Lohan’s probation and issued a bench warrant for her arrest after she failed to appear at a hearing on Thursday. Lohan’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said her client missed the hearing because she is stuck in France due to her passport being stolen while she was attending the Cannes Film Festival. Holley said Lohan was issued a temporary passport by the U.S. Embassy in Paris on Thursday and will fly back to the United States as soon as possible. Judge Revel said Lohan cannot drink alcohol until a full hearing on her probation revocation, and she will be fitted with a bracelet to detect if she has been drinking. Random drug testing also will be performed on the actress, because of previous evidence she was under the influence of cocaine, Revel said. “I warned her before,” the judge said. “She knew it was very serious.” Lohan has been on probation since pleading guilty in August 2007 to two misdemeanor counts of being under the influence of cocaine, no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent and one count of reckless driving. Her probation was extended for another year in October after Lohan struggled to comply with court-mandated terms of her sentence, and prosecutors have warned that she faces jail time if she violates probation again.

Lindsay Lohan Arrest Warrant Issued For Missed Hearing

Los Angeles judge doesn’t accept stolen-passport excuse and revokes Lohan’s probation. By Mawuse Ziegbe Lindsay Lohan Photo: Stephen Shugerman/ Getty Images A California judge has issued an arrest warrant for Lindsay Lohan after the troubled star failed to attend a mandatory hearing in Los Angeles. According to the actress’ lawyer, Lohan was unable to appear in court because she has been stuck in France since her passport was stolen. The judge set bail at $100,000. The actress is currently attending the Cannes Film Festival, but according to The Associated Press, , Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley said the star is due back in the U.S. on Friday evening. Los Angeles’ ABC 7 reported that Lohan is scheduled to go to the U.S. Embassy in France on Thursday (May 20) to get a new passport. Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel, however, showed no sympathy for the actress. “If she wanted to be here, it looks to the court that she could have been here,” Revel said, according to the AP. In addition to revoking Lohan’s probation, the judge barred the entertainer from consuming alcohol and required her to submit to weekly random drug testing. Lohan will also be required to wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet. Lohan pleaded guilty in 2007 to two misdemeanor drug charges and no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent and one count of reckless driving. The star’s probation was extended for an additional year in October after Lohan experienced difficulty adhering to the terms of her probation. According to ABC 7, Michael Lohan’s attorney Lisa Bloom spoke to reporters at the courthouse about her client’s daughter’s current situation. “There could be a private agreement between the parties,” said Bloom. “Somebody does have to want to go to rehab, and we hope that Lindsay will get to that point.” Despite Lohan’s notoriously public professional and personal struggles, Revel said earlier this year that the star was making “good progress.” On Monday, the actress denied reports that she has failed to complete the mandatory number of alcohol-education classes, saying in a Hollywood.tv online video that she has “been in compliance more than ever.” Related Photos Hollywood Descends On The 2010 Cannes Film Festival Related Artists Lindsay Lohan
