Garrido lawyer requests witness backgrounds
By Sam Stanton, Sacramento Bee
Phillip Garrido’s attorney has filed a broad request for information on what type of evidence has been gathered against her client, who is charged with abducting Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991, when she was 11.
Public defender Susan Gellman filed her six-page request in El Dorado Superior Court asking for an array of information, including a list of prosecution witnesses to be called at trial and whether any have convictions for felonies or moral turpitude.
She also is requesting witness statements, photos, police officer notes and records of samples of hair, blood, urine or tissue taken during the investigation.
