One of Elizabeth Smart's kidnappers, Wanda Eileen Barzee, is expected to receive a concurrent 15-year sentence Friday in both in Utah state and federal courts when she is sentenced Friday, RadarOnline.com is reporting.
As part of a plea agreement, Barzee pleaded guilty last autumn to federal charges of kidnapping and unlawful transportation of a minor in connection with Smart's highly-publicized kidnapping nearly 8 years ago.
Barzee said her and husband, street preacher Brian David Mitchell, abducted the then-14-year-old Smart in June 2002 from her Salt Lake City home at knife point; a second attempt to kidnap Smart's 15-year-old cousin a month later was botched, Barzee told authorities.
