(CNN) -- Elizabeth Smart was not afraid to face Brian Mitchell in her first testimony detailing her 2002 abduction.





Elizabeth Smart, now 21 and in college, testified that Brian Mitchell raped her daily.





In fact, her father said, she wanted the man who allegedly kept her tethered to a tree in the Utah woods muzzled and forced to listen to her testimony.





Mitchell was in court Thursday for a competency hearing, but Smart never saw him because U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball ordered him removed from the court when he ignored requests to stop singing and disrupting the proceedings. He watched via a closed-circuit camera from another room.





"She actually wanted to face him," Ed Smart said. "I think she asked [U.S. Attorney Brett Tolman] if he could be muzzled and have to sit there and watch it."





Tolman, standing alongside Smart's father after Thursday's hearing in Salt Lake City, confirmed the 21-year-old woman's request: "She did ask me whether or not [Mitchell] got to see that testimony and hear that testimony, and I indicated to her, to her relief, that he was there in a room with the audio and video and had nothing else to do but listen."





Mitchell is accused of abducting Smart from the bedroom of her Salt Lake City, Utah, home in June 2002. She testified that she was kept captive in Utah and California until March 2003, when she was found walking down a street in Sandy, Utah, with Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee.





Smart said that, during those nine months, no 24-hour period passed without Mitchell being able to rape her.





Public defender Robert Steele says Mitchell is mentally ill, but Tolman said he believes that Mitchell "has attempted to fool or to deceive the system."





Ed Smart said he hopes his daughter's testimony nixes the notion that Mitchell cannot stand trial, "and if this doesn't clinch the issue of competency, our nation is in really, really bad shape, because it means that anyone out there can manipulate and make the court do what it wants."

Mitchell and Barzee are charged with six felony counts, including aggravated burglary, aggravated kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault.





Smart's testimony began with details of how she was abducted at knife point while she slept next to her sister. She was 14 at the time.





She said Mitchell took her to a wooded area not far from her home, performed a marriage ceremony and began raping her. Mitchell often sang about his intentions, she testified: "He would come up the mountainside, yelling, 'I'm going to [expletive] your eyes out.' "





Mitchell also threatened to kill her if she tried to escape, Smart said.





"He said an angel would strike me down with a sword," she said, "but he also told me that he would be that angel."





Mitchell gave her drugs and alcohol, showed her pornography and used religion to justify most of his actions, she testified. He also said he was God's servant, a prophet, and would one day face and kill the Antichrist, she said.





On one occasion, Smart said, she vomited after Mitchell gave her too much to drink.





"He let me lie face-down in my vomit for the entire night until I woke up the next day," she told the court. "He said that was showing my true state, that I was laying face-down in my vomit."





That morning illustrated a recurring theme, she said, explaining that Mitchell often rationalized his actions by saying they would ultimately yield greater spirituality.





"He said that first I had to be humbled and to sink below all things before arising above all things," she recalled. "You have to experience the lowest form of humanity to experience the highest."
