Judge Orders Release of Maya Millete’s Therapy Records Ahead of March Murder Trial

The ruling relies on a five-year presumption-of-death provision to allow access to confidential treatment files.

Overview

  • Records from a marriage and family therapist who treated Maya Millete will be provided to both sides as pretrial evidence, a judge ruled Thursday.
  • Prospective jurors are expected to report next month, with trial proceedings slated to begin March 9 at the Chula Vista courthouse and expected to last about three months.
  • Larry Millete has pleaded not guilty to murder and faces 25 years to life if convicted, along with a felony count for possessing an assault weapon.
  • Maya Millete has not been seen since January 7, 2021, and the five-year anniversary this week passed without her being found.
  • Juror questionnaires are being finalized after a defense bid to move the trial was denied, and a routine motion hearing for Larry Millete was set for January 8 as community events honoring Maya continue.
