PLACERVILLE, Calif. (AP) - Six news organizations are seeking to
have a judge unseal grand jury transcripts and other documents in
the Jaycee Lee Dugard kidnapping case.
In a motion filed Tuesday, The Associated Press, The Sacramento
Bee, the Hearst Corp., the Gannet Co. Inc., the Los Angeles Times
and the Bay Area News Group are all asking Superior Court Judge
Douglas Phimister to unseal the documents.
In the motion, San Francisco-based attorney Karl Olson says
"there is no justification for sealing any records" in the case
against the Garridos.
In a lawsuit earlier this year, Olson successfully forced state
corrections officials to release Phillip Garrido's parole records.
The Garridos are accused of kidnapping Dugard in 1991, when she
was 11 and holding her captive in their backyard until she was
found in August 2009.
