I'm just trying to make sense of the judge's statement; that he thought they may be called to testify "as witnesses" in this case, so he got them each their own lawyer. So far anyway, I am not seeing his logic. If he was truly trying to protect them, why not grant the protection order encompassing Jaycee AND her daughters. And if they need a lawyer and are going to be called to testify (with court approval) then what are they possibly going to be testifying for/against? It's all weird to me, but I guess we'll find out soon enuf.
Back again after a little info refresher. This is one of the sites I think that gives a good indication of the two daughters. http://www.examiner.com/x-12837-US-...-describe-Dugards-children-Starlite-and-Angel.
When PG grabbed the older daughter to praise what a great job he did of raising her, the officer said she looked fearful. Also, although not in this article, when the officer asked about the bump on the youngest girls forehead, in the other article she said she, the girl, smiled and said it was a birth mark. I am betting that was rehearsed and that she had been smacked hard enough to leave a bruise.
Anyway it will be interesting to review the next batch of parole papers and to see if girls want to see PG of NG.
And IMHO NG is still a guilty nobody.
I would think that Jaycee was always treated differently then the girls. This would possibly be information the prosecution would use. Another possible piece of information would be if Jaycee breastfed her younger daughter. I am sure her older daughter would remember this.
Sleeping in the same bed with their father is also something the prosecution would want to make known, showing control, dominence and other possible things. They could be called by either or both sides to testify.
Garrido could have been bringing the girls into the house to sleep with him...The sleeping in the same bed thing Garrido mentioned in his interview, was probably metaphoric not literal. There were beds in the tents and none of them looked large enough for multiple people to be sleeping in.
Well the sun does shine nicely in California but "SHADE TREES" do an excellent job or cutting back the rays. That back yard was loaded with sheds, tents and shade trees. And when it is hot it is sort of nice to be indoors. So that could explain pale. Now gray could be explained by pills. Over medicated people tend to look a bit pale and gray, aka darkness under the eyes. Obviously these people saw something other than whacko dad or they never would have investigated further. Even the defense attorney is using these two ladies, saying they witness his strangeness. The prosecuting attorney stated he did not plan to use the girls so my guess is the defense attorneys plan to use the girls as witnesses in some way.
The charges against the Garrido's actually are for the period before the girls were born I thought.
And I don't think the sleeping in the bed thing was metaphoric. He was bragging IMHO. It may have been an exaggeration as to when he started taking them to his bed (I totally doubt he did until they started looking more like little girls and less like babies). So was it also metaphoric when he said he never even kissed them? Most normal fathers hug and kiss their children in a fatherly manner. No both comments were to show to the "world" just how cured he was. Again he was bragging. In his mind he has no room for anyone else. The world is all about him.
However, if they in fact were not sleeping with him but perhaps with Jaycee, then that is great. The perv does not need to be cuddling little girls.
:angel: maybe his talking to angels at night is also metaphoric, perhaps a reference to prayer?
