Juries have twice this year deadlocked over efforts to release.

Schmidt, 37, was convicted of sodomizing and drowning a 3-year-old 
girl in Lompico in 1988. He was 16 at the time and tried as a 
juvenile. Most juvenile inmates are released from the state system 
when they turn 25, but in Schmidt's case, the District Attorney's 
Office has employed a little-used provision of state law to extend 
Schmidt's incarceration because they believe he has a mental disorder 
that makes him a danger to the public.
