It’s a case that’s hard to forget, an 11-year-old Meyers girl was kidnapped and held hostage for 18 years, but now she is taking to Facebook to stop a proposition on the November ballots.
“The eligibility for parole for Philip Garrido after only 17 years is really a travesty,” said James Clinchard, then prosecutor in the Jaycee Lee Dugard case. “I can’t imagine how she would feel if the Garridos were eligible for parole at a date before 431 years.”
That’s how many years Garrido was sentenced to, but Clinchard said with Proposition 57 Garrido could get that hearing after just 17 years.
These male sex offenders should be castrated. He absolutely should never have been let loose and the authorities should be held accountable for this travesty of justice.
This case was and still is incomprehensible.
