In the case of Garrido, the legal system and the courts terribly failed society and it failed the two little girls and the 25 years old woman who became his victims. Now police have released information that Garrido raped a 14 year old girl in 1972 and he went free because the victim would not testify, probably because she was too afraid: Click here for the story.
Then there was the case of Katherine Callaway Hall who was abducted and raped by Garrido in 1976. This time the police caught him and he was prosecuted and sentenced to 50 years. He served less than 12 years and he was out again: Click here for the story.
If only he would have been kept behind bars then Jaycee Dugard could have been spared. As we know now, he abducted her in 1991 and kept her imprisoned for 18 years.
I believe people can be reformed, especially when they are young, but this man was beyond any rehabilitation. It was a grievous blunder to let him loose on society. Now three cases of confinement and rape have been revealed. It is possible that more cases will be discovered. Predators like him must be kept in a cage and always locked up.
