Lawyer: Couple confessed in Jaycee Dugard kidnap
PLACERVILLE, Calif. – A Northern California couple charged with kidnapping Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive for 18 years have given full confessions to authorities, a defense lawyer said Monday.
The revelation came as prosecutors and defense lawyers have opened negotiations on a possible plea deal with the defendants that would avert the need for a trial.
Attorney Stephen Tapson, who represents defendant Nancy Garrido, told reporters outside court that he was there when his client and her husband, Phillip Garrido, were re-interviewed by detectives during the past month.
They acknowledged snatching Dugard, then 11, from a South Lake Tahoe street then answered dozens of questions about the years they spent with her and her two daughters fathered by defendant Phillip Garrido, Tapson said.
"Essentially they confessed to kidnapping and told where all the bodies are buried," Tapson said, characterizing the disclosures as "full confessions."

and there should not be a death penalty.....
this case is a prime example of why we need the death penalty.
