SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The attorney for the woman charged along with her husband with holding Jaycee Dugard captive for 18 years says jailhouse letters his client sent to a friend won't hurt her defense.

Nancy Garrido frequently mentions God and her husband, Phillip Garrido, in the letters, saying the couple are "two peas in a pod."

CBS-13 in Sacramento first reported on the letters Friday. They were sent to a woman Nancy Garrido befriended in the El Dorado County Jail. Attorney Stephen Tapson confirmed the authenticity of his client's letters with The Associated Press Saturday.

The Garridos are charged with kidnapping Dugard in 1991 and keeping her and her two daughters in a backyard compound.

Nancy Garrido has pleaded not guilty. Her husband's arraignment has been postponed pending completion of court-ordered psychiatric evaluations.
