An accused hit-and-run killer may be done in by one key, if not repulsive, piece of evidence — his own bag of rats.

​P​rosecutors revealed Monday​ at the start of the manslaughter trial for ​Julio Acevedo — ​who is charged with manslaughter for plowing into a livery cab and killing an Orthodox Jewish couple and their unborn child ​– that a damning piece of evidence ​is a bag of frozen rats with his fingerprints on the outside that was found in the BMW he allegedly abandoned after the crash.

Acevedo has a long rap sheet dating back to 1987, including a bust for second-degree murder for the killing of the original 50 Cent.

Here's the rat bag itself...

Bag of rats? Sounds like a rock band.

That’s a rat bastard if I ever saw one. It’s too bad the judges who let this scum out of prison weren’t in that cab instead of that poor family.

A cautionary tale to those of you intent on racing around in a stolen BMW with a bag of rats. Your snake eats like once a month or something, he can wait for you to take the subway home.

Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You f****d up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry

“They recovered a bag that contained live frozen rats,” assistant district attorney Tim Gough said in his opening statement.

New York is a very, very, very strange place.

Bag of Rats?

Sounds like the DNC

Is Julio Acevedo a “Dreamer”?

What in the world does one have a ‘Bag-O-Rats’ for?..................

[maddog55]

Or a shitload of liberals...

Snake food. As a rat fancier I find the practice barbaric, but that’s probably what they were for.

Okay, frozen TV dinners.....................

I read an article in the WSJ about falconry. Can’t remember if it was a guy with a falcon, or the guy that hunted with an owl, but the wife learned to explain to guests the backup food supply of dead rodents in the freezer.

“They recovered a bag that contained live frozen rats,”

Does this mean that they were frozen to death or were they alive and had little scarves and mittens on when they were found?

I’m kidding about the scarves and mittens, obviously, but, are they frozen to death?

In addition to the murder rap, Acevedo has two arrests for criminal possession of a controlled substance, reckless endangerment, robbery and even a DWI arrest from Feb. 17 of this year.

Shades of “The Minority Report”

Future Crime has become a reality.

Proof reading is a lost art.

[Politicalkiddo]

Sounds more like a description of Congress, to me.

Live? Did they scamper off once they thawed?
