BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — The trial for convicted murderer Daniel Gunnarsson, who’s facing child sex abuse charges, has been postponed to July.

Gunnarsson, 23, had been scheduled for trial this month but on Wednesday attorneys agreed to a new trial date of July 29.

Late last year, prosecutors filed multiple felony counts against Gunnarsson after the alleged victim told deputies he forced her to engage in sex acts on numerous occasions from 2016 to 2021.

In October, Gunnarrson was sentenced to 25 years to life for the May 18, 2021, murder of 21-year-old Kathryn Pham. He dated Pham about a month before killing her in a garage at his stepfather’s home on Skylark Avenue.

Google's call-scanning AI could dial up censorship by default, privacy experts warn
A feature Google demoed at its I/O confab yesterday, using its generative AI technology to scan voice calls in real-time for conversational patterns associated with financial scams, has sent a collective shiver down the spines of privacy and security experts who are warning the feature represents the thin end of the wedge. Google's demo of the call scam-detection feature, which the tech giant said would be built into a future version of its Android OS — estimated to run on some three-quarters of the world's smartphones — is powered by Gemini Nano, the smallest of its current generation of AI models meant to run entirely on-device. This is essentially client-side scanning: A nascent technology that's generated huge controversy in recent years in relation to efforts to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or even grooming activity on messaging platforms.
