SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 17 –  Alfredo Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 months in 2018 for being part of a drug dealing gang in The Bronx. Then he was charged with a death.        

      On February 17, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Loretta A. Preska held a change of plea proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.

  Rodriguez was pleading guilty when the Assistant US Attorney asked him to confirm he was admitting guilt as "Martinez' death."

The affirmative answer was apparently enough.

The plea was accepted and sentencing set for May 17 at 10 am. The case is  US v. Rodriguez, 17-cr-283 (Preska)
