he widow of a one-time “top potential suspect” in the kidnapping of teen-ager Elizabeth Smart has agreed to a $150,000 settlement of her lawsuit against Utah prison officials.

Richard Ricci died of a brain hemorrhage in prison three months after Smart was kidnapped in 2002.

Ricci was in maximum security on a parole violation — and was facing state and federal charges. Angela Ricci filed a lawsuit in federal court against prison and Salt Lake City police officials, alleging false prosecution, libel and wrongful death. Her claim against the city remains in litigation.

She said the $150,000 settlement from the state doesn’t sufficiently compensate for a life that should have been. She also said no one has ever apologized.

Elizabeth Smart was found with drifter Brian David Mitchell and his wife, nine months after being abducted.
