 ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Former astronaut Lisa Nowak's attorneys formally entered a not guilty plea Thursday to charges that she tried to kidnap a rival for a space shuttle pilot's affections.
Nowak, a 43-year-old mother of three and Navy captain, did not appear at the brief arraignment. Her lawyers had already entered a written not guilty plea.
Nowak was arrested Feb. 5 after police say she drove from Houston to Florida to confront Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman in an Orlando airport parking lot and then pepper-sprayed her. Shipman, who was dating astronaut Bill Oefelein, was able to get away.
