Geee Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Fox News A New York man willing to testify against MS-13 members who attacked him in 2018 was found dead earlier this week after his identity was disclosed to defendants’ attorneys in pre-trial proceedings, police say. The bludgeoned body of 36-year-old Wilmer Maldonado Rodriguez was found Sunday outside an abandoned home in New Cassel, the Nassau County Police Department announced Wednesday. Investigators said Rodriguez in October 2018 came to the defense of two boys who were being threatened by the gang — only to be beaten with a bat and stabbed, according to Newsday. "This courageous man was prepared to testify against his alleged assailants at an upcoming trial, but he was brutally beaten to death before he could," Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement provided to the newspaper. "This case underscores the importance of safeguarding the identities of witnesses and victims of crime and our hearts are with Mr. Maldonado’s family and friends as we grieve his loss.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPatReads Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The fatal mistake Maldonado made was not having his lawyers define him as a "whistleblower"... Really. We have a world where the gang members who assaulted the man extended extraordinary "rights" by the Sanctuary State of New York, yet a non-gang citizen is casually fingered by courts so his testimony can be silenced. Permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
