“那天晚上,我被迫决定是否要与Brian Nichols一起使用毒品,”她说。 “毒品一直是我生活的一种方式,在此之前我已经让我消费多年了,我可以选择,无论我是否打算使用它们。几乎就好像……耶稣在那一刻拿走了布莱恩尼科尔斯的遗体说:’你想要这样做,还是想要有不同的生活?’“

    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.

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,
