PLACERVILLE, Calif. (AP) - A legal saga surrounding a Northern California woman who was kidnapped as a girl and kept hidden in a
backyard compound for more than 18 years is coming to a close.
Serial sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, are expected to be sentenced Thursday for abducting Jaycee Dugard in 1991 and concealing her and the two daughters she bore after she was raped.
The two defendants pleaded guilty under a deal that calls for Phillip Garrido to receive a prison term of 431 years to life, and Nancy Garrido to get a maximum term of 36 years to life.
Dugard was 11 when she was snatched from a South Lake Tahoe
street. She will have an opportunity Thursday to present the court with a statement about her ordeal.

went way to light on the sentencing for the wife.
Why don't they just put them to death and be done with it. We're going to put these nut cases up for the rest of their lives in relative comfort which they don't deserve. What a waste of taxpayers money.
