Dugard’s $20mil. not enough, mom wants state to pay her
By KCRA
The board that considers compensation for California crime victims is being advised to reject a claim by the mother of Jaycee Dugard, who authorities said was held captive for nearly two decades by a paroled rapist.
Lynn Margherita, spokeswoman for the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, said Thursday the board’s staff is recommending the claim by Terry Probyn be handled by the courts.
Probyn’s claim was not included in the state’s $20 million settlement with Dugard and the two daughters she bore to her alleged kidnapper.
This is over compensation and a ridiculous request by the mother. We’re human. If we had to pay $10,000 for every mistake we made, we’d all be broke. The sad part is Dugard’s mother is just making it worse for her family. Move forward – not backward.
