"I had assumed they weren't going to," Tapson says. "I'm surprised they waited so long."
He says his client is upset that Jaycee and the two daughters fathered by Garrido haven't visited the couple in jail. "They're still running up my Kleenex budget," Tapson says. " She wants to see the kids and Jaycee."
Prosecutors have said that Jaycee doesn't want to see the Garridos, and they have also refused to tell the couple's lawyers where Jaycee and the girls are living. Tapson adds that he remains hopeful that a plea deal can be worked out in which the defendants plead guilty and get some sentence other than life without parole.
This summer, the state agreed to pay $20 million to settle the family's claim that the parole of Phillip Garrido, a violent convicted sex offender, was poorly supervised.
Geez Louise, get real! Jaycee and the girls will never want to see you again. Their eyes have been opened to who you are and what you have done to them. You deserve a life sentence and your husband deserves a life sentence in a padded room. He is a total nut job as well as a child rapist.
As for the twenty million, I have heard people are complaining about it. Stop carping people. It's not enough. How can you put a price on eighteen years of captivity and torture? You don't have enough to repay her for neglecting to monitor a convicted rapist and kidnapper.
