Attorneys are set to argue Wednesday about whether a judge should reverse course in an ongoing 2016 Rohnert Park homicide case and try the 23-year-old defendant as a minor under a new state law that prioritizes rehabilitation over incarceration for youth offenders. Arguments will be presented in Sonoma County Juvenile Court in Santa Rosa before Judge Ken Gnoss, who is overseeing the transfer hearing for Rohnert Park resident Daniel Carrillo, who is accused of killing and then burying Kirk Kimberly, an 18-year-old Rancho Cotate High School classmate, on Sonoma State University property.
