Cold-Blooded! Man Locked Up On Murder Charge Can't Go To Warmer Jail

A man jailed more than five years for allegedly gunning down his uncle couldn’t get his lawyer to make a case for sending him somewhere warmer.

Jason Gonzalez, 28, wrote up his own court papers complaining about the temperature in the Will County jail and requesting he been taken to a facility with a more balmy climate.

“It’s absolutely absurd how cold the administration has allowed the pod to become,” Gonzalez wrote in a declaration filed with the court.

“It’s so cold at night that I’ve resorted to wrapping myself up in my mattress so I can get some sleep,” Gonzalez said. “I wear every article of clothing I have and still it’s not enough. My fingers are numb, my feet are numb. My nose is running and my back is aching. The administration just doesn’t care.”

Gonzalez also enlisted five other inmates to write their own declarations.

On Monday, Gonzalez’s attorney, Alexander Beck, declined to take up Gonzalez’s cold case.

Gonzalez is scheduled to stand trial next month on charges he murdered his uncle Lance Goebel in September 2009.

Gonzalez shot Goebel numerous times with a 9-mm handgun, then stole $1,000 and his uncle’s Chevy HHR, police said. The vehicle was later located about a mile from Goebel’s New Lenox Township residence.

Goebel’s wife found her husband dead in the home. Several days later, the cops caught Gonzalez sleeping in his mother’s 1997 Saturn, which he reportedly borrowed from her shortly before the killing. Gonzalez was parked behind a bush on Larkin Avenue in Joliet, police said.
