A man who police say was the victim of a beating at the hands of MS-13 members in 2018 was found dead in New Cassel earlier this week.

Police say Rodriguez was one of three victims of a gang assault over a year ago. According to the Nassau District Attorneys Office, Rodriguez was protecting someone who was being bullied in 2018 when he was beaten and stabbed by MS-13 gang members known to police as the Gang of Nine.
Rodriguez was a witness set to testify in a 2018 MS-13 assault case, according to police.
The DAs office says as a result of the investigation into that case, nine MS-13 members were arrested for assault and witness intimidation. They are still behind bars.
Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder says the DAs office had a hearing regarding the case going to trial in December of last year. He says at that hearing, it was decided that all information that had a protective hold on it would have to be turned over to the defense counsel days later. This included witness names and contact information.
We dont know if the defense counsel turned that information over to the defendants, but we do know that right after that time period, we started this pattern of intimidation, says Ryder.
Ryder says on Jan. 30, one of the other witnesses was shot at. Two days later, he says Rodriguez was beaten but escaped. He was found dead the following day.

Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a news conference that he blames the new bail reform law for the 36-year-olds death. He says under the law, prosecutors must turn over all evidence against a defendant within 15 days of arraignment including the identities of all witnesses and victims.

amazing. PB abortion, wictim, green light and bail. Four recent new laws and NY has become extremely dangerous within a month. What will they think of next? and they wonder why NY-kers are leaving.
If the witnesses do not come forward, then the crime statistics go down.
So very sad. Fewer victims will file charges or cooperate. You blame them?
Nail on the head.
That area is probably very anti-gun also.
So the government made it very hard to for the good guy to be armed, and allowed the bad guy out with his address.
The most insidious thing here is that the criminal could have simply shot one or more of the guy’s kids to get even, not even bothering to get him.
Accessory to murder?
Nah, not for communists.
Treat them accordingly if they try to lay hands on you.
Yes - but if you make a move to deal with the problem yourself, the police will be on YOU like a heavy sweat.
In my mind, that's complicit.
Some thangs aint broken.
But still needs fixin...
She’s going to be too busy now to fix it.
The Democrats have just put her in the bull pen to be the one to take down Trump
They should take Rodriguez’s body and dump it on the steps of NYC City Hall.
But then again, that might be construed as an abuse of a corpse.
Precisely. Reminds me of the Clinton body count
Did anyone not see this coming? Of course they did. The new bail law is working precisely as intended. The government is now working with MS-13. Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon: We will undoubtedly see a chilling effect on cooperation by those impacted by crime, choosing instead to protect their own privacy and avoid being re-victimized. Another benefit aside from protecting their constituents is that crime statistics will plummet. This will be used to claim success for the program. I wonder what the judge was thinking after he found out the witness was murdered? Lets see what color tie should I wear today.
What a terrible thing it would be if MS13 were to find out that adam schitt, jerry no-nads, and NaNzi Piglosi are also on the witness list.
just sayin...
The town he was found is bad.
According to newspaper, the judge said the DA did not ask for an order to continue the protection.
Thats why i am saying the politicians and cops are actively doing things to get you murdered.
Nancy Pelosi likes these animals... maybe she should take a few into her home and help ‘reform’ them... We’ll pray for her...
