Garridos: We Want to See Jaycee

Alleged kidnappers finally indicted in Jaycee Dugard case

(Newser) – It took more than a year after their arrest, but Phillip and Nancy Garrido have been indicted in the kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard. Nancy Garrido’s lawyer says a grand jury handed up the indictment this week after secret proceedings. Now the couple can be arraigned on the charges as soon as Oct. 1, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. “I had assumed they weren't going to” indict, the lawyer tells People. “I'm surprised they waited so long.”

Perhaps more surprising than that is the fact that Nancy Garrido is upset that Dugard and her two daughters—fathered by Phillip Garrido—haven’t visited the couple in jail. “They're still running out my Kleenex budget,” the lawyer says. “She wants to see the kids and Jaycee.”

of all the criminals we see/hear about..every freakin day...these two trouble me more than any of them!!! they make my stomach roil just to see a picture of them, knowing what they did...and that woman, nancy, is worse than phil will ever be, to allow that to be done to a young girl...her own gender!!! Im shocked they can find an attorney who will represent them, and taking on these two monsters must reserve a special place in hell for that attorney! defense? there's no defense..Im so glad that girl is happy, thriving, with her kids, has lots of money..and NEVER has to see these two animals again!!!!!

I'm glad that Jaycee apparently wants nothing more to do with these two. The Garridos and their lawyers's sob stories about being separated from their loved ones I find frankly nauseating. And 13 months to indictment? Frankly, why does our legal system string this one out so long?

I want these two psychopaths in a supermax prison. No visitors, no television, no radio, no books. Just a room the size of a closet with a slit under the door to push in predigested food. Then let's hear her smart mouth.
