She's also been declared indigent. Is the state going to pay for her present legal team?
No plea deal. Next trial is April 13 with the same counsel for KM.
Based on this news, any predictions about when/if an Adelson will finally be arrested?
So - no hearing in between now and then? TIA!
March 17 and April 9 will be pre trial hearings for Magbanua.

At the end of the trial, there was the talk of an Order to Transport for Riveria. Speculation was that he might be testifying during the penalty phase, which he did not. My thought was that he was going to testify for a grand jury while in Tallahassee. I am speculating, of course.
The juror interview got under my skin for many reasons, but one was her disbelief that Riveria just up and decided to quit the Latin Kings. How unbelievable she thought! Well, when you cooperate with law enforcement, that is high treason to the gang. Riveria, on the stand, mentioned "they" are trying to kill him. He's a significant liability and enemy #1 now to the gang. The juror viewed it as if Rivera was fibbing about actually leaving it.
I posted back a few years ago about my run-in with someone in Tallahassee who had a law enforcement friend. This friend of my friend said he had to get extra training to protect Rivera. Training that envolved dealing with sharpshooters on the tops of building in Tallahassee, etc. My friend said that Riveria was known, by law enforcement, to be on a hit list. At the time, my immediate assumption was that someone in A's clan put out a hit out on the dark web or something. I know, tin foil hat stuff, but I did not know what to make of it at the time. Now, I'm more confident that it was that law enforcement had to protect him from his own gang, as they prob feared what else Rivera would tell the cops about the gang. Make sense to me as to why Garcia got only seven years. If he talked to the police, there is a good chance he'll end up assassination too. Risk versus reward. It was a massive risk for Riveria.
IMO there is some legal/financial shenanigans and camouflage going on in PH1 in Miami to make sure that DeCoste, Kawass, and Saamy get paid in full.

I'm clueless about gangs....why would Rivera want to be in gen. pop.? I realize this is not quite on topic!
