(AP) Elizabeth Smart's family has hired a Los Angeles entertainment attorney to help them screen movie and book proposals about Elizabeth's abduction and remarkable return.
Kelly Crabb, who reportedly has negotiated contracts for Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews and Muhammad Ali, was hired a week ago, said Chris Thomas, the family's spokesman.
According to his firm's Web site, Crabb's areas of practice include motion picture, television and other programming production and financing; composer agreements, personal appearances and motion picture distribution.
"These kind of contracts are very specialized," Thomas said.
Crabb received bachelor's and master's degrees from Brigham Young University before earning a law degree from Columbia University in 1984. He also worked for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Elizabeth, now 15, was abducted from her bedroom on the night of June 5. On March 12, she was found in a Salt Lake suburb with her alleged kidnappers.

Me too Mewzilla. Nothing wrong with refraining from making a decision until all the facts come out. I do hope they don't make it in to a lifetime movie.. They'll pay in the long run if Elizabeth is harmed any further by it.

That's the way it works. And if you don't make sure you have a say, then they can pretty much do what they want.

Tom Smart's statement on Larry King Live:
"I believe that this person is not a bad person at all. And our family has felt strongly for a while. And there's been a comfort here for a while. This is just somebody who actually likes Elizabeth. We don't know -- we have issues. We've been ripped apart by our polygraph. I don't know who has done what with my brothers.
We all have issues. Anybody's taken -- we've been ripped apart to the core. And we understand that everybody has issues. And we pray hard that whoever this is will know that the family is full of compassion towards everybody because this is a wonderful story, in a lot of ways. Because it's about, foremost, a beautiful, little angelic girl. But it's also about -- everybody has issues no matter what. It crosses the boundaries on everything. It's an amazing story."

Well, the benchmark for "lowness" has already been established on these threads, and not by me.

"they might want to include Ricci's wife in the profits from the Movie? His name should be mentioned...hummmm?" good point. i doubt they will tho...that could be construed as admitting somesort of fault or culpability...to paraphrase Dennis Prager "it's a shame when people think legally instead of morally". Why is it that nothing about this case is heartening...except for the fact that Elizabeth was returned alive and well?
To: JesseShurun
Oh, fiddle-faddle.
My "rant" as you call it was against that brutal, uncaring and hateful creation that you call "god." Not against the REAL God.

Kim, we agree about the movie and book. I think it would be in the child's best interest to keep it on the shelve untill she is of age to make a mature decision regarding this matter.

An inkling that she has lied, thereby exposing her own prejudices?
What's more, she refuses to even apologize for the lie. How sad.
