Phillip Garrido's Bail Set At $30 Million
Nancy Garrido's Attorney Did Not Ask For Bail
Psychiatric Evaluations Ordered For Both Nancy And Phillip

PLACERVILLE (AP) ― A judge on Monday set bail at $30 million for a Northern California man accused of kidnapping a girl and holding her captive for 18 years.

In setting the high amount, El Dorado County Superior Court Judge Douglas Phimister cited the serious nature of the charges, injuries to the girl and the fact that Phillip Garrido was on parole at the time of the alleged abduction.

Garrido, 58, and his wife, Nancy Garrido, 54, have pleaded not guilty to 29 charges of kidnapping, rape and false imprisonment charges and have been held without bail in an El Dorado County jail.

Nancy Garrido continues to be held without bail, something her attorney did not object to during Monday's hearing. Phillip Garrido is unlikely to be released because of his parole violations, even if he could raise the money.

He appeared in court with a bandage on his nose and a newly grown gray beard. He and his wife both appeared solemn during the 10-minute hearing, during which the judge granted a request by Phillip Garrido's attorney Susan Gellman for a psychiatric evaluation of her client.

There should have been no option for bail at all -- should have just been sent straight back to prison.

End of story. No capital punishment, no chance of parole, and no more public expenditure. Put them on some half fertile island and be done with it all. Im sure it will be plenty pleasant there, so they couldn't complain.
