Jaycee Dugard found ALIVE/Phillip Garrido Sentenced To Life In Prison

Justice4all wrote:I wonder what he hoped to accomplish by pleading not guilty? He is obviously guilty and will be convicted. He probably wants to cause Jaycee and her girls as much grief as possible by making them go through a trial.

It's very disturbing to me. At the expense of Jaycee's healing and the taxpayer's money.

Through a representative, Dugard, now 30, expressed relief that her abductors "confessed."

The married couple abducted Dugard when she was 11, and they held her in a hidden compound on their home's grounds in Antioch, California.

Transcript: Statement of Jaycee Dugard's mother at the Garrido sentencing

Updated: 06/02/2011 03:34:05 PM PDT

In addition to reading a victim impact statement by her daughter, Terry Probyn delivered her own statement at the sentencing of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, June 2, 2011.

"I am Terry Probyn, and my oldest daughter is Jaycee Lee Dugard. On May 3rd, 1980, at 10:52 at night, Jaycee was born, my precious little baby daughter: healthy and happy to be here, a true miracle and certainly a gift from God. All 6 pounds, 4 ounces, she was mine to love, to nurture, to take care of. She was a part of me, my pride and joy — blonde hair, blue eyes, my sweet baby girl. She would smile and coo, and my whole world lit up. I lived and breathed for that baby. She is what life is worth living for.

"We had some rough times, as any new mother would attest to. When her belly hurt and she couldn't sleep at night, we would rock in the rocking chair for hours on end, and I would sing to her: 'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, you'll never know, dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.'

Kidnapper Told Girl She Was 'Help' For Sex Problem

UPDATED: 4:37 pm PDT June 3, 2011

PLACERVILLE, Calif. -- Through it all, the kidnapping, the repeated sexual assaults and the isolation of being hidden away for over 18 years, Jaycee Dugard survived by playing the good girl.

She followed the orders of the serial sex offender who had immobilized her with a stun gun in June 1991, stashed her in his car and then laughed to his accomplice-wife that he couldn't believe he had gotten away with it.

Over the following months, if Dugard balked at his commands, Phillip Garrido terrorized her by turning on the gun so she could hear it "zap."

"I didn't want it to happen again, so I was good," she recalled in vivid grand jury testimony released Thursday after her abductors were sentenced to prison. She "tried to do what he wanted me to do even though I didn't like it."

Jaycee Dugard, fresh from excoriating her captors as they were being sentenced to prison, will sit with ABC News' Diane Sawyer in the coming weeks for her first extensive media interview.

And there's a good chance that after the appearance is aired, she will not speak with other media outlets and will let her much-anticipated memoir do the talking, in print and through an accompanying audiobook narrated by Dugard herself.

The network announced Wednesday that Sawyer landed the interview, to be broadcast shortly before the memoir, "A Stolen Life," is released July 12.

Jaycee Dugard describes giving birth in backyard prison

NEW YORK (ABC News Radio) - For the first time ever, Jaycee Dugard, the California woman kidnapped and imprisoned for nearly two decades, is describing giving the birth at the age of 14 in a backyard prison.

Three years into her captivity, Dugard went into labor with the first of her daughters fathered by her abductor, Phillip Garrido. She was locked in a room in Garrido's backyard compound when she began having pains.

"I didn't know I was in labor," Dugard told ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview. "I was still...locked at that time. Just scared."

Jaycee is such a strong young woman. I hope that she has the most wonderful life for she & her children.

J4A, thanks for posting all of this information. I watched the interview and I am in total awe of this young woman. Many times I had tears in my eyes for her. She's so strong and she held onto hope. Those babies were her hope, they kept her from feeling alone. I never realized how long she was kept handcuffed and naked. It broke my heart. She was just a little girl and she said she thought sex was two people laying next to each other. She didn't see sunshine for six years! This couple is pure evil. Jaycee's positive outlook and her recovery is astonishing to me. Her mother holds the hatred in her heart, not Jaycee. It's amazing. I am going to order her book, A Stolen Life. Her recounting the horror she survived in her book to be able to help other abuse victims makes Jaycee a true hero. I hope her story will be able to help other survivors learn to cope and lead a happy, productive life. I am assured that Jaycee will do that. God bless you, Jaycee.

District Attorney Release Regarding Jaycee Dugard Abduction

(Higher resolution version of the video can be obtained through the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office)

On June 10, 1991, Phillip and Nancy Garrido abducted Jaycee Lee Dugard in South Lake Tahoe. On August 24, 2009, 18 years later, Jaycee was finally discovered. Both Phillip and Nancy Garrido were charged with, and ultimately convicted of, kidnapping and rape – sending them both to prison for life. The primary responsibility of the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office in this case has been to seek justice for Jaycee, Terry Probyn and their family with the criminal prosecution of Phillip and Nancy Garrido. The District Attorney’s Office has received numerous requests for information from the media pursuant to the public records act. In order to highlight the gravity and severity of the mistakes made, and in hopes of improving the supervision and detection of sexual predators, the District Attorney, at the request of the victim’s family, has determined that certain details of this horrific case need to be revealed.

The District Attorney’s Office is releasing: a video of a CDCR parole officer’s search of the Garrido residence (circa 2000-2007), two video clips showing some of the Garridos’ activities videotaping children in public (circa 1989-1993), a map of South Lake Tahoe showing Garrido victims known to law enforcement prior to the abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard, and various additional documents (4 pages of federal parole documents, 1972 booking photo, 7 pages related to Phillip Garrido 1977 conviction, 2 photographs showing the condition of the tapes, and note signed by Jaycee Lee Dugard). It is hoped that these details begin to shed some light on several lingering unanswered questions, such as: How did Phillip Garrido get paroled from a 50 year Federal sentence and a five-to-life Nevada sentence after only 11 years? How did Phillip Garrido, a repeated kidnapper and rapist, with a history of kidnapping and raping in Lake Tahoe, who was on Federal parole, and was registered sex offender, avoid becoming a suspect in the disappearance of Jaycee in 1991? How did Phillip
Garrido keep Jaycee hidden for 18 years while on Federal and State Parole?

All of this will be discussed at the August 3, 2011 public meeting at the State Capitol with Senator Ted Gaines, District Attorney Vern Pierson, various law enforcement leaders and victims’ rights organizations as they seek to explore deficiencies in state law and identify potential legislative solutions to prevent these kinds of tragedies from ever occurring again.

Dugard chronicles captivity

"A Stolen Life: A Memoir," by Jaycee Dugard (Simon & Schuster, $24.99)

~Snipped~

Early in the book, after describing how she was knocked out with a stun gun, forced into a car and taken to the ramshackle backyard where she would spend much of her life, she recalls: "I ask him if I can put my clothes back on. He chuckles and says no. I ask him when I can go home. He says he doesn't know but he will work on it. I say my family doesn't have a lot of money, but they would pay a ransom to get me back. He looks at me and smiles and says, really?"

No horror writer could make that moment more chilling.

Jaycee Dugard sues feds for Garrido parole failures

Many of the claims made in the complaint were acknowledged in a federal report on Garrido's parole supervision released earlier this year as well as a state audit in November 2009, two months after Dugard resurfaced near Antioch.

In a statement, Seltzer says Dugard is not seeking money for herself but rather her nonprofit JAYC Foundation, which is aimed at providing treatment and support for victims of abductions and traumatic experiences.

Dugard is leaving it up to a judge to decide any monetary settlement, Seltzer said.
