Garridos Make Jailhouse Confession To Jaycee Dugard Kidnapping
PLACERVILLE, El Dorado County (CBS/AP) -- A defense lawyer for the Antioch couple charged with kidnapping Jaycee Dugard and holding her captive for 18 years said Monday both have given full confessions to police.
Attorney Stephen Tapson, who represents Nancy Garrido, told reporters Monday outside court that his client and her husband, Phillip Garrido, were re-interviewed by detectives during the last month.

Tapson said they admitted snatching Dugard, then 11, from a South Lake Tahoe street.
Tapson says the couple have not worked out a plea deal, but prosecutors have proposed sentencing Phillip Garrido to 440 years in prison and his wife to more than 241 years.
The lawyer said Dugard was present during one of Nancy Garrido's interviews, apparently the first time the women had been face-to-face since the couple was arrested in 2009.
Earlier Monday, the judge in the case refused to release grand jury transcripts, mental health records and other documents in the kidnapping case.

El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister ruled Monday that making the information public would jeopardize Phillip Garrido's right to a fair trial.
Media organizations, including The Associated Press, had asked the judge to unseal the documents.
