Wanda Barzee Not To Testify?

A witness list released today for an upcoming competency hearing in the Brian David Mitchell prosecution for the abduction of Elizabeth Smart does not include Wanda Barzee, Mitchell's wife and accomplice in the kidnapping who recently pleaded guilty to kidnapping charges in what appeared to be a plea deal that would likely require her to testify against Mitchell in competency hearings and at trial. While the terms of the plea were never actually disclosed, it still seemed likely that Barzee would be required to testify against Mitchell to establish his competency to stand trial. The list still includes twenty-nine potential witnesses, but Barzee's testimony would have likely been the most damning to his defense of incompetency.
