Most of us in the press room were ignoring Brian David Mitchell. he was singing Christmas carols like he normally does every morning. All of a sudden I heard a loud moan and thought that's strange. I looked over and Mitchell was on the ground and his attorneys were all around him. What was up? Was this another of Mitchell's courtroom antics? I looked over to where Ed Smart was and his face appeared to give off the same signal... What was Mitchell up to now?
A physician in the courtroom did indicate that Mitchell was suffering a seizure and off he went.
A talked to Wendy Lewis one of Mitchell's attorneys. She was in tears. Lewis had lost her husband a few years ago in a similar manner. He died in her arms. She said it brought back memories.
It sure was a strange morning to see all this unfold before my eyes.
