\n<\/span><\/p>\nA lawyer has said the California couple accused of kidnapping a California girl and holding her prisoner for 18 years have confessed to detectives.<\/p>\n
Stephen Tapson, who represents Nancy Garrido, said she and Phillip Garrido had admitted snatching Jaycee Dugard from a California street in 1991.<\/p>\n
He said a plea deal was not yet agreed but prosecutors had proposed a 440-year sentence for him and 241 years for her.<\/p>\n
Garrido allegedly fathered Dugard’s two daughters while keeping her captive.<\/p>\n
In Placerville, California, Mr Tapson told reporters after a court hearing the Garridos had submitted to a lengthy interview with police detectives last month.<\/p>\n
Ms Dugard was present during a session with Mrs Garrido, the first time the pair had met since Mrs Garrido’s August 2009 arrest, he said.<\/p>\n
The 18 counts against the couple include kidnapping for sexual purposes, rape, lewd acts on a child, false imprisonment and production of child pornography with the victim, according to the indictment document.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors and defence lawyers for the pair have begun negotiations towards a plea deal.<\/p>\n
Mr Tapson said the Garridos had spoken to detectives in the hopes of winning a deal that would allow Mrs Garrido one day to walk out of prison, the Sacramento Bee newspaper reported.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
