Jayme Closs, in her written statement to the judge, described how she reclaimed her freedom from the man who took it for 88 horrifying days.
"There are some things that Jake Patterson can't take from me. He can't take my freedom. He thought that he could own me but he was wrong. I was smarter," said attorney Chris Gramstrup, who read Jayme's statement on her behalf.
She then explained how she outsmarted him.
"I watched his routine and I took back my freedom. I will always have my freedom and he will not. Jake Patterson can never take away my courage. He thought he could control me, but he couldn't," her statement said.
"I feel like what he did is what a coward would do," the 13-year-old wrote.
