According to court records, Joseph Scrofano, Gonzalez’s attorney, filed a motion on April 15 to change his client’s release conditions so his GPS monitor could be removed pending trial.
The prosecution had no opposition to the removal, but asked that the stay-away order from the victim remain in effect, which Scrofano did not oppose.
Judge Di Toro granted the GPS removal and the stay-away order will remain in effect.
Parties are slated to reconvene on June 10.
