Thank you again for signing our petition to deny parole to Jose Gonzalez, who murdered an innocent couple, Essie and James Effron, on the eve of their retirement.

     As we have previously reported, at a hearing on April 8, 2021, the California parole board granted parole to Gonzalez.  However, Governor Newsom has reversed that decision after finding that Gonzalez would pose an unreasonable danger to society if he were released from prison.

     Gonzalez's next parole hearing has tentatively been scheduled for October 2022.

     We will post further updates when there is new information to report.
