"Dugard was not interviewed by the magazine, although people close to her spoke at length about her rehabilitation and that of her two daughters, Angel, 15, and Starlit, 11. Dugard and her daughters are recovering from their long ordeal at an undisclosed location in northern California; Jaycee’s mother, Terry Probyn, is with them.
The 10-page article is accompanied by many pictures of Dugard and her mother. Dugard’s daughters are shown only from the back.
TODAY’s Matt Lauer asked People’s managing editor, Larry Hackett, if the magazine paid for the photographs, which were taken by a private photographer engaged by the family."

And for others, they do it for altruistic reasons-- to give a voice to those who can't afford their own representation in the criminal justice system (many of whom *are* innocent). Perhaps a legal Jezzie can clarify-- I was under the impression that as a PD you can't pick and choose your cases, and you need valid legal grounds (beyond just finding your defendant creepy) to be recused from a case?

But as a public defender the amount of cases like Garrido's are a reeeally small percentage. The majority of cases aren't this notorious or out there.

When I was in law school (I have the degree but chose not to pursue a career in the field), I took a course taught by three appellate defenders. One said that he went into it because "9 out of 10 are guilty, but I do it for the one who isn't."
Sorry to be OT. Jaycee looks lovely and I hope she is recovering well.

It's sad that she even has to deal with this after all she's been through, but it seems that she's getting some good PR advice so she can continue to privately seek the help and support she needs.

Hell, even people who claim to be above the fray or "to have never watched an episode of (fill in the blank) show" feel the need to comment in Jezebel's mid-week round-up.

. . . please explain.
Sure the tabloids are complicit, but its their business model. If documentaries about classical artists in magazine form were huge sellers, they would move to that model, but its hard to knock them for doing what it takes to get by.
If everyone is somehow "in" on the cycle, as you make it seem, what's the issue?

Just because it is their business model does not make it ok and morally benign. Is Nike blameless because it utilizes a business model that includes sweat labour just so it can make a fuckload of money off a public that is willing to buy luxury goods without questioning where they come from and the larger impact?
Even if everyone is "in" on it, I still believe it's contributing to a culture in which people seem willing to do anything, sacrifice anyone, or degrade themselves publicly to be famous. It encourgaes vapidity, solidifies negtive stereotypes, unfairly punishes women...need I go on?
