[b]Outrage at Kamala Harris as pedophile who brutally raped and murdered eight-year-old neighbor is set to go free thanks to woke California juvenile justice law VP authored[/b]

A violent pedophile who brutally raped and murdered his eight-year-old neighbor could be released from jail this fall due to a 2016 justice reform authored by Kamala Harris during her tenure as California’s Attorney General.

Adrian Jerry ‘AJ’ Gonzalez, 24, was just 15 when he lured Madyson Middleton into his mother’s apartment with promises of ice cream before strangling, stabbing and raping her.

The brutal killer then wrapped her body in plastic bags and threw it in a dumpster outside the Santa Cruz apartment complex where they both lived.

Now, Gonzalez is set for release when he turns 25 – a rule that applies to all offenders convicted in juvenile court in California.

[b]The killer has benefited from California’s 2016 Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act, also known as Proposition 57, which changed the rules on juvenile offenders and meant[u] those who committed crimes before they turned 17 can only be moved to an adult court following a full hearing.[/u] [/b]

Criminals convicted in juvenile court are automatically eligible for parole when they turn 25 – meaning Gonzalez will have served just three years if he is released in stark contrast to the two life terms he would have faced in adult court.

You want children tried as adults before there is a hearing on what evidence exists?[/quote]

If you are murdered or brutally raped by a person 13 or older, are you less dead or less harmed because the perpetrator is a teen?[/quote]

Do you think there is no division to be made between children and adults committing crimes, and if so, having a judge adjudicate exceptions?

What is wrong with you?[/quote]

Weirdos thinking children are the same as adults. Guess that's why they think 14 year olds should be forced to give birth. [/quote]

DP.  If a 14 yr old raped and murdered your 8 yr old, you’d want them locked up for good.  Don’t pretend otherwise.[/quote]

I'd want them tried in a court of law, by due process with every single i dotted and t crossed, especially for anything that could give him a chance to go free again.

WHy is that not what you want? Do you want him to go free?[/quote]

You are not understanding Prop 57.  Nothing says they can be locked up without a trial (unless of course it is pre-trial detention - which this case would certainly warrant.)

It now requires an extra step - a hearing in a juvenile court before the accused can be tried in an adult court.  
I happen to think that is ridiculous.  If the crime is as heinous as this one was, he should be tried as an adult.

Here is the change in Prop 57:

Proposition 57 Would Require Youth to Have a Hearing in Juvenile Court Before They Could Be Transferred to Adult Court

Under current state law, youth ages 14 to 17 who are accused of certain crimes can be tried in adult court. In some circumstances, state law requires the juvenile to be tried as an adult. In other situations, prosecutors have the discretion to directly file charges against a youth in adult court. In the remaining cases, a juvenile court judge decides — if so requested by a prosecutor — whether a youth should be transferred to adult court.

Prop. 57 would amend state law to require youth to have a hearing in juvenile court before they could be transferred to adult court for prosecution. As a result, under Prop. 57, “the only way a youth could be tried in adult court is if the juvenile court judge in the hearing decides to transfer the youth to adult court,” according to the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO). In addition, the measure would allow prosecutors to seek transfer hearings only for 16- and 17-year-olds accused of committing a felony, or for 14- and 15-year-olds accused of committing certain crimes outlined in state law, including murder, kidnapping, arson, and certain sex offenses.[/quote]
