Bronx Man With Murder Charge Mulled Lawyer Switch Now Co-Defendant Feb 2022 Sentencing

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 14 – Victor Rodriguez was charged with murder in connection with a drug deal in front of 808 East 175th Street in The Bronx on April 18, 2020.

His case was being considered for the death penalty.

On July 15, 2020 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge P. Kevin Castel held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

 Rodriguez pled not guilty, but the main issue in the proceeding was whether Judge Castel will replace the Criminal Justice Act lawyer initially assigned to Rodriguez, Matthew Kluger of 888 Grand Concourse, with a "learned counsel" lawyer on the death penalty panel, Elizabeth Macedonio.  

Rodriguez told Judge Castel he is getting along well with Kluger and would like to continue with him. Judge Castel indicated that Macedonio will hold a separate legal call with Rodriguez this Friday or on Monday. 

 After that a third lawyer, Peter Quijano, will report to Judge Castel under seal "defendant's wishes as to whether Mr. Kluger or Ms. Macedonio continue as his lead counsel."  

Jump cut to October 2021, when on a co-defendant Judge Castel ordered: Reset Deadlines/Hearings as to Alex Melendez: Sentencing set for 2/15/2022 at 12:15 PM before Judge P. Kevin Castel."

The overall case is US v. Rodriguez, 20-cr-301 (Castel)
