Judge appoints new attorney to represent man convicted of murdering 8-year-old Santa Cruz girl
Briefly

Gonzalez, who admitted in 2021 that at the age of 15, he had kidnapped, sexually assaulted and killed his 8-year-old neighbor, is scheduled for release from a locked juvenile facility by his 25th birthday in October. However, concerns remain over whether his treatment has been sufficient to ensure he won't be a danger to society.
Gonzalez's new attorney, Charlie Stevens, stated that he has not yet received all relevant case files. He expressed the need for a continued trial date-setting hearing.
