SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- Elizabeth Smart kidnapper Wanda Barzee pleaded "guilty but mentally ill" to an unrelated Utah abduction charge Monday, attorneys said.
Defense attorney Scott Williams said Barzee's plea deal came in connection with a July 24, 2002, incident in which Barzee's husband, Brian David Mitchell, allegedly attempted to kidnap Smart's cousin about seven weeks after the Smart kidnapping, The (Salt Lake City) Deseret News reported.
