Jury selection for the trial concerning the potential release of Adrian Gonzalez, convicted of kidnapping and murdering Madyson Middleton, is set to begin Tuesday, following concerns about his dangerousness.
After Maddy Middleton's tragic death at the hands of Gonzalez, who was just 15 at the time, questions have arisen regarding his rehabilitation and the risks he may pose to society if released.
The Santa Cruz County District Attorney's Office has successfully argued for a trial to assess whether Gonzalez remains a danger to society, which could extend his time in care.
The state juvenile systems are changing, with Sonoma County now overseeing Gonzalez's rehabilitation; however, there are plans to revert to Santa Cruz County's management by early next year.
