Hostage Gave Meth to Atlanta Fugitive

[NVMojo]

Somehow in all the DeLay/Frist/prison torture news, I missed this one!


ATLANTA Sep 27, 2005 — Ashley Smith, the woman who says she persuaded suspected courthouse gunman Brian Nichols to release her by talking about her faith in God, discloses in a new book that she gave him methamphetamine during the hostage ordeal.

Smith did not share that detail with authorities after she talked her way out of captivity.

In her book, "Unlikely Angel," released Tuesday, the 27-year-old Smith says Nichols had her bound on her bed with masking tape and an extension cord. She says he asked for marijuana, but she did not have any, so she dug into her illegal stash of crystal meth instead.

1. I'm not sure whether I admire her honesty or am shocked at her stupidity

That one falls into the category of "too much information."

5. I guess she told because Nichols would anyway.
