Scott said he hopes there's a plea bargain to keep the Garridos in prison for life and keep Jaycee from having to publicly relive details.

&#8220;It's a very sordid tale,&#8221; said Scott.

Scott said he's representing Jaycee for free. He met with Jaycee, her mother and daughters twice the past week and said he's amazed at their progress.

"Obviously they're aware this is a big issue and a big story,&#8221; explained Scott.

Scott said Jaycee and her girls have been getting medical and psychological treatment from day one after leaving the Garridos house and yard where Jaycee spent most of her life and her daughters spent all of theirs.

"The girls are getting tutoring and Jaycee's observing," said Scott. "You have to remember Jaycee only has a 5th grade formal education. She very much has a brain she wants to develop."

Scott said Jaycee and her family remain in seclusion while he tries to get the daughters&#8217; birth certificates and keep tabloids away.

&#8220;There are a lot of people in law enforcement and elsewhere who've been working very hard to maintain that privacy and it continues as we speak,&#8221; said Scott.&#8221;They just need to be left alone right now, but it's a struggle.&#8221;

The international coverage of Jaycee Dugard's story has led to a wide outpouring of interest and sympathy for the alleged kidnapping victim. Anyone who wants to send letters or notes to Jaycee can address them to the law firm representing her:

"Jaycee understands and appreciates that some absolutely terrible things were done to her and fully appreciates that those people need to be held accountable, and as a result of that she is fully cooperating with the law enforcement agencies involved in the prosecution," says McGregor Scott, a former federal prosecutor.

The statements come one month after Garrido, 58, visited his parole officer with Jaycee, 29, and the two daughters he had with her, and Dugard revealed that Garrido had abducted her 18 years earlier as she walked to her school bus stop in South Lake Tahoe.

Scott declined to discuss whether Dugard wants to testify or has mixed feelings. "It's premature to speculate how that might play itself out," he says.

Scott, now a partner at Orrick, an international law firm, says he agreed to take the case pro bono to help administer a trust fund for the family – which has already raised over $100,000 – and because he feels he owes it to Dugard as someone who worked for law enforcement in the state for about the same length of time that Dugard's family was waiting for her to come home.

"We failed – and I include myself in that. We failed Jaycee Dugard. And this is some way to make up for that," Scott says.

Family says tabloid's grown-up Dugard pic isn't her
San Francisco Chronicle
Friday September 25, 2009

"The National Enquirer had a scoop last week when it ran what it billed as the first photograph of an adult Jaycee Dugard, the 29-year-old woman who was freed last month after being held for 18 years in a backyard compound near Antioch.

The problem? According to Dugard's family, the glamour shot of a young woman in a 1980s-era jean jacket -- splashed across the top of the tabloid's front page -- is of somebody else."

""The family flatly, emphatically states that it is not her, not even close," said Erika Price Schulte, a family spokeswoman."

Jaycee Dugard case: Families of abduction victims look to move forward after Garrido searches raise hopes

"ANTIOCH — The search of the property of kidnapping suspects Phillip and Nancy Garrido may be over, but for three East Bay families looking for answers to what happened to their daughters, the anguish and questions remain.

As the neighborhood returns to some semblance of normality, the families of Michaela Garecht, Ilene Misheloff and Lisa Norrell are left with mixed emotions — disappointment in the wake of optimism not felt in years, along with a flicker of hope that the renewed attention brought by the Garrido property searches could yet lead to clues that solve their decades-old cases."

Did you know that California is the only state that places all released prisoners on parole, no matter the seriousness of their crime? "Even at a time of historically low violent crime, critics argue that overloading parole agents compromises public safety."

McGregor Scott, a former U.S. prosecutor, said he was approached a week ago about representing the family, which is receiving free legal help from his Sacramento law firm.

He added that Dugard is aware of the media spotlight and that she and her mother are protecting the girls from getting "too much information too early in the process." Scott also stated that Dugard does not want media attention and would not be appearing on shows in the foreseeable future.

Scott said Dugard realizes she will need to testify against her accused kidnapper and father of her two daughters Phillip Garrido as well as his wife Nancy about her life in their Antioch home.

"She's had children in that environment, so it's really what she has known in essence for her life, so that's one competing emotion. On the other side, there's no question she knows the terrible and wrong things that were done to her," said Scott.

Scott was also critical of law enforcement agencies that "failed" to discover what was going on in Phillip Garrido's Antioch home.

NEW YORK — "The television show "Inside Edition" plans to air an interview today with two brothers of Jaycee Dugard kidnapping suspect Nancy Garrido.

Garrido and her husband Phillip Garrido have been charged with kidnapping and imprisoning Dugard for 18 years in their backyard near Antioch.

According to excerpts from the interview, David Bocanegra suggests his sister was "controlled" by Phillip Garrido.

"It's just really hard listening to people call my sister a monster...She's a really good person...She was just controlled by Phillip."

David Bocanegra and his brother Rey Bocanegra said they last spoke with Nancy three years ago and hadn't been able to get in touch with her for years before that."

Garrido Says Dugard's Rights Violated
Phillip Garrido Writes Jailhouse Letter To KCRA

POSTED: 4:20 pm PDT September 30, 2009
UPDATED: 5:19 pm PDT September 30, 2009

"SACRAMENTO, Calif. --
Phillip Garrido, the convicted rapist accused of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard more than two decades ago, alleges her civil rights have been violated and asked KCRA 3's Walt Gray to contact Dugard at the "earliest possible date.""

"In a jailhouse letter sent to Gray, Garrido claimed Dugard's "free speach [sic] rights are being violated."

He also alleged Dugard was "repeatedly denied access to have an attorney present during questioning. Over & over she clearly expressed this request from the beginning to the conclusion of questioning."

"Please concider [sic] this request to contact her at your earliest possible date," Garrido wrote.

Gray went inside the jail to see if Garrido would explain the contents of his letter. Garrido told jail staff to tell Gray he would not meet unless his attorney was present."
