PLACERVILLE, Calif., Oct. 29 (UPI) -- A California judge postponed a hearing Thursday for Phillip and Nancy Garrido, the couple who allegedly imprisoned Jaycee Dugard for 18 years.
After meeting with prosecutors and defense lawyers in his chambers, El Dorado County Judge Douglas Phimister said the hearing was rescheduled for Dec. 11, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported.
The Garridos were brought to court, a rare public appearance since their arrest in August. Also in the courtroom was Katie Callaway Hall, who was kidnapped and raped by Garrido in 1976, 15 years before Dugard disappeared.
Like Dugard, Hall was abducted in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Garrido, who was convicted a year later, took her to a warehouse in Nevada and held her there for eight hours while he repeatedly raped her.
"The same old fears came back," she told the Gazette-Journal. "I was surprised. I did not expect to feel so emotional."
Hall had seen him on one previous occasion since his release from prison -- at a Nevada casino where she was working as a dealer in 1988. She was surprised because she had been asked to be notified if he was released from prison.
