A Californian judge had previously appointed lawyers to represent Dugard's minor children.
In the court records, the Duggard’s new lawyer also exercised their rights under Marsy's Law, a legal bill enforced to provide all victims with rights and due process.
Duggard is seeking a protective order from the court "to prohibit disclosure of any and all information, documentation and other materials which is confidential and otherwise pertains to them."
It would allow them not to disclose confidential information to the defense or anyone working on their behalf.
JAYCEE’S OWN WORDS: What She Wrote While In Captivity
Phillip Garrido, 58, and his wife, Nancy, 55, are charged with kidnapping and raping Dugard over a period of years.
She and her daughters were discovered last August, living at the couple's Antioch home.

Good try ROL, but this is NOT an exclusive. It was reported ALL over Northern California over a week ago. Check out News10.com website, SacBee.com or any other website. It was reported on April 6.

That's quite a track record; one's in jail, one's a drug addict and the other is a no-talent ho.
