After being held hostage for ten years by her shooter following her murder at a courthouse in Georgia, Ashley Smith says she barely recognized the woman who talked to her and let her go. “Most of the time, just because Im different today, the life I lead and the decisions I make are so different today that I never really did that person,” she said on Monday. Ashley Smith recalls the seven-hour ordeal as the shooters hostage on Sep. 14, 2015. On March 11, 2005, Brian Nichols escaped from an Atlanta rape trial, stole a gun from a deputy, and killed a judge and a court reporter before running into Smith that night. At the time, Smith was a 26-year-old waitress trying to put her life back together. She was a widow with a five-year-old daughter and was living with an aunt while trying to address drug abuse issues. That night, Smith read her hostage passage from the Bible and a self-help book and talked about her daughter. She told TODAYs Savannah Guthrie that she also made a decision to change her lifestyle. “That night, I was forced to decide whether or not to use drugs with Brian Nichols,” she said. “Drugs had been a way of life for me, and I had been consuming them for years before this. I had a choice, whether or not I was going to use them. It was almost like… Jesus took Brian Nichols body away and said, Do you want to do this, or do you want a different life?” She decided to improve her life, “and by the grace of God, I havent used illegal drugs since that day.” Today, Smith, who married eight years ago, goes by Ashley Robinson and has a 16-year-old daughter, a 14-year-old stepdaughter, and a four-year-old son. “These days we definitely lead a busy life,” she said. Her interview is part of a week-long TODAY series called “Where Are They Now?” that explores news stories through the eyes of people who have experienced them. Smiths ordeal has recently been turned into a Hollywood movie, “Captive,” which opens this Friday. The film stars Kate Mara and David Oyelowo. “Its definitely surreal,” she said of watching her life play out on the big screen,
