The topic of the testimony was something that had not been discussed in any previous court hearings for Brian David Mitchell, who is on trial for kidnapping and raping Smart.
Dr. Paul Whitehead, the clinical director of the forensic unit at the Utah State Hospital, was referring to information he'd gathered from Mitchell's wife Wanda Barzee's journal and from police reports. He said part of Mitchell's motive for wanting to marry many women was for reproduction purposes.
