Concerns about California's SB 1391 raised after jury verdict in Santa Cruz rape and murder case
Briefly

After a jury ruled Adrian Gonzalez remains a public danger, concerns were raised about SB 1391, a law affecting juvenile offenders. Madyson Middleton's family and community members are advocating for changes to the law due to its implications for violent offenders who age out of the juvenile system. Both community members and Santa Cruz County District Attorney Jeff Rosell expressed frustration with the legislation, highlighting the emotional toll on victims' families and the need for legal reform to prevent similar situations in the future.
"I think it's important for victims and families of victims to feel the support of the community and that their loved ones matter. This state law needs to change."
"SB 1391 - I have said and I will say again - is the worst piece of legislation that I have ever seen. There need to be changes in the law."
