Sheriff, jail commander against release of Dugard documents
By Sam Stanton, Sacramento Bee
The El Dorado County sheriff and jail commander are the latest officials to oppose unsealing documents in the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping case, saying releasing any information about security at the Placerville jail involving Phillip and Nancy Garrido could pose a “serious breach of security.”
The concerns, outlined in court filings dated Thursday, were filed in opposition to an effort by the Bee and other media groups to unseal documents in the case, including grand jury transcripts of Dugard’s testimony last month.
El Dorado County District Attorney Vern Pierson earlier this week filed papers opposing the transcripts’ release, and on Thursday Sheriff Manfred Kollar and jail commander Pam Lane filed documents saying the release of other sealed documents could undermine jail security.
