PLACERVILLE, Calif. (AP) - The attorney representing Phillip
Garrido, one of two people charged in the Jaycee Lee Dugard
kidnapping case, filed legal papers Wednesday seeking to keep
transcripts and other documents in the case sealed.

The Sacramento Bee reports that El Dorado County public defender
Susan Gellman argued in her filing that releasing the documents
would "adversely affect" Garrido's right to a fair trial.

Phillip and Nancy Garrido were each indicted on 18 counts that
ranged from rape to false imprisonment, plus multiple special
allegations.

Authorities said the Garridos abducted Dugard, then 11, in 1991
and held her captive until she and her children surfaced at the
office of Phillip Garrido's parole agent.

Nancy Garrido has pleaded not guilty to the charges, while the
criminal proceedings against her husband were suspended to evaluate
his mental competency.
