DA: Evidence against Garrido overwhelming
By Sam Stanton, Sacramento Bee
El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson said today he has overwhelming evidence to convict accused kidnapper and rapist Phillip Garrido, and that he believes there is evidence to show Nancy Garrido might have been under her husband’s control.
“We believe it does exist,” Pierson said during a 50-minute hearing in Placerville.

Pierson said the mere existence of the two daughters that kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard had while in Garrido’s captivity for 18 years “is incriminating.”
“This is a case that we can prove without any difficulty as to Mr. Garrido,” Pierson said.
