Daily News | A Philly man sentenced to life without parole for four murders will soon be free
driven by a man who, with an accomplice, had just stolen a motorcycle at gunpoint, barreled through the intersection of 3rd and Annsbury Streets in Feltonville, crashed onto a sidewalk and into a group of young people, killing four of them.
Because Rodriguez has already been behind bars for nearly 13 years, he is eligible for parole and will be released from prison soon. The path to freedom for Rodriguez was long. Between 2012 and 2015, his appeals of his conviction were denied in Common Pleas Court, twice in Superior Court and in the state Supreme Court.At the conclusion of the 2012 trial, the jury had no doubt about either man’s guilt, said Florence J. Thompkins, an alternate juror.
“If you want the benefits and advantages [of committing a robbery], you have to accept the consequences and responsibilities,” Conroy said. In July, Krasner’s office teamed up with Rodriguez’s attorney, Jennifer Bretschneider, to ask the judge to release him.
