Almost 20 years to the day that she was grabbed off the street, shot with a Taser and hidden in a backyard compound, Jaycee Lee Dugard was finally able to stand up to her captor and, in a statement read by her mother, told him that what he and his wife did to her was "reprehensible" and said she was angry at them for stealing her life. Just before a judge sentenced Phillip Garrido to 431 years to life in prison, Dugard told them through Terry Probyn that she chose not to attend Thursday's hearing because "I don't want to waste another second of my life in your presence" and said she hated "every second of every day for the sexual perversion you forced upon me." "Phillip Garrido, you are wrong," Dugard, 31, said in the statement read by Probyn. "You are a liar, and all of your so-called theories are wrong." Dugard also said she was doing well now and told Phillip Garrido "you do not matter anymore." Before ordering Garrido's punishment, El Dorado County Superior Judge Douglas Phi-mister told Garrido that he lacked a soul and said "what you did to this child is beyond horrible."
