A federal appeals court ruled 2-1 on Friday that Jaycee Dugard, who was kidnapped from South Lake Tahoe and held in Antioch by a parolee for 18 years, cannot hold federal parole officers liable for failing to supervise her captor.

Well, the reporter got that pretty badly wrong. I wonder if they even bothered to glance at the opinion.

Hint: she wasn't suing the parole officers.

The Pasadena-based panel said federal law and its intersection with California law prevented Dugard for being compensated “for the incompetence of the parole office that was supposedly supervising Garrido.”

This isn't a lawsuit?

I suppose Congress could pass a private bill. This kind of thing has happened before on the state level, at least.
