Omar Rodriguez is dragged out of a Florida courtroom on Aug. 15, 2024, after he screamed at Lisette Rey (lower insert), the wife of Jose Rey (top insert), the man Rodriguez killed in 2015 after a dispute over dog poop
Omar Rodriguez, 74, was just sentenced to life in prison
for murder. It didn't help that he went off on the widow of the man he
killed in court, but it probably didn't hurt his situation too much
either. He was already pretty much in the shitter.
Rodriguez
had an ongoing beef with the dead guy, Jose Rey, because Rodriguez
believed that Ray was deliberately allowing his dog to crap in
Rodriguez's son's yard. The situation went well and truly sideways in
Kendall, Florida. Rodriguez shot and killed Ray. Rodriguez then
claimed self defense under Florida's Stand Your Ground statute. The
jury didn't buy it, especially as Rey was not armed. In addition
Rodriguez had a history of being a dick towards his neighbors including
harassment and threats of violence while armed. He also asserted while
he was screaming at the widow that he killed her husband because Ray was
a coward. That probably didn't help his case a whole lot either.
I
guess the wheels turn slowly in Florida because Rodriguez has, at this
point, been in the slammer for nine years pending trial.
