Nancy and Philip Garrido: SENTENCING INSIDE STORY

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

Nancy and Philip Garrido were sentenced today for the 1991 kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard.

Garrido received a sentence of 431 years to life and his wife Nancy was sentenced to 36 years to life for holding Dugard captive for 18 years and repeatedly raping her.
Before the sentences were handed down, Dugard’s mother read a statement on her behalf. “I chose not to be here today because I refuse to waste another second of my life in your presence,” Dugard wrote in a portion of the statement directed to Phillip Garrido. “Everything you ever did to me was wrong and I hope one day you will see that.”

“I hated every second of every day for 18 years,” she wrote. “You stole my life and that of my family.”

Both defendants pleaded guilty in April to kidnapping and rape under a deal that called for the sentences the pair received today.The plea deal was designed, in part, to spare Dugard and her children from having to testify at a trial.

RSR hopes that Jaycee Lee Dugard and finally have closure on this tragic event in her life.
