Junior’s mother screams, collapses in court during witness cross-examination after seeing footage of teen son’s last moments

MAY 23, 2019

"THE BRONX — The distraught mother of slain teen Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz had to be carried out of a Bronx courtroom Thursday, after she started screaming and shaking in her seat during cross-examination of star witness, Kevin Alvarez.

Defense attorney, Kyle Watters, was hammering the 20-year-old Alvarez about his role in the chase, beating, and dragging of Junior, 15, to his eventual stabbing by five men on a sidewalk outside a Bronx bodega.

He was challenging Alvarez’ version of what happened the night of June 20, 2018.

When Watters showed footage of Alvarez forcing his way through a glass partition door that separated Junior from the gang members, he forcefully asked the witness, “But for you pushing through that door, Junior would have stayed on the other side of the door.”

The footage later showed Junior being dragged out of the bodega.

It was during another piece of the surveillance — when a mortally wounded Junior stood alone on the sidewalk, clutching his lethal neck wound after being turned away from the bodega a second time — when his mother, Leandra Feliz lost it.

“No, no, no!” she started screaming.

Her body began shaking, she was pounding her fists on the spectator bench, and it looked like she was about to faint.

That’s when court officers surrounded her and nearly carried her out of court, as Feliz continued screaming in the hallway....

Testimony is expected to resume Thursday afternoon."

Judge calls screaming mom of ‘Junior’ Guzman-Feliz ‘monstrous’

May 23, 2019

"The mother of an innocent teen chased down and hacked to death with machetes by a pack of gangbangers was called “monstrous” by a Bronx judge Thursday after having to be restrained and escorted out of court by police when she began screaming at the top of her lungs....

Bronx Supreme Court Judge Robert Neary groused about the disruption, telling the court to break for lunch “because someone became rather hysterical, monstrous and screamed.”

Two friends tried to restrain Feliz before three police officers consoled her and removed her from the courtroom. Court officers told witnesses in the hallway outside not to film the episode, calling it a “medical emergency.”

Two EMTs were later seen entering the courthouse during the lunch break. A friend of Feliz told The Post, “She needs medical assistance right now. She needs to be at ease and calm down.”..."

A million prayers to that woman. I just get ill imagining how that must be. I am amazed she just keeps on breathing. And manages to make it to that courtroom. That's love and courage unsurpassed. May there be VERY fitting karma justice.

The trial resumes Tuesday. "

While I don't think her breakdown would jeopardize this case, Junior's mom needs to take care of herself and take a break from this trial when they are playing that tape. No mom ever wants to see their child die, especially when they are murdered. There is no need for the defense to play the video again and again, except to terrorize her and the family. I hope she will walk away a bit. The jury already sees the monsters they are. I hope mom can know that Junior won't think she abandoned him if she steps back.

Girlfriend of ‘Junior’ slay suspect said he pointed himself out in bodega video (with clip)

MAY 28, 2019

"THE BRONX -- The girlfriend of “Junior” murder defendant Elvin Garcia testified Tuesday that he pointed himself out in the infamous video that showed five men fatally stabbing the boy last June.

“He just told me that was him and he pointed at the image,” Yudelvi Mena, 21, told the jury, looking frail and uncomfortable on the witness stand.

He shared this with her a day after Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz , a 15-year-old high school sophomore, was killed following a chase by at least 15 men in four cars in the Belmont section of the Bronx....

The trial testimony was delayed nearly three hours this morning when two defendants, Jose Muniz and Antonio Rodriguez Hernandez Santiago, said they didn’t want to appear in court.

Judge Robert Neary announced they “voluntarily excluded themselves from court.”

“We are not going to comment to the jury about the absence of the two defendants,” Neary said.

All defense attorneys remained in court, including the two representing the absent defendants."

Wow. I'm really disgusted that judge called his mother monstrous. He might be used to seeing videos and photos of the murdered all the time. But this was a mother seeing her son murdered. Wow....

Anthony Carlo's Junior Trial Notes for Day 10

May 29, 2019

"Looking awkward, uncomfortable and nervous, 21-year-old Yudelvi Mena took the witness stand at the Bronx County Hall of Justice Tuesday to testify against five men accused of murdering Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz. If that wasn’t difficult enough, she had to provide incriminating testimony about one of those men, Elvin Garcia, who she had once dated...

After lunch, Julianne Henry, a Crime Scene Unit detective, was called to testify. Henry processed a 2011 white Acura for evidence pertaining to the ‘Junior’ stabbing. The car was in the possession of Michael “Sosa” Reyes, Henry testified. Police swabbed what appeared to be blood stains in the car, according to Henry....

Junior’s dad, Lisandro Guzman, showed up for the first half of the day, escorted in by two members of law enforcement. Leandra Feliz, Junior’s mom, was not there.

We are anticipating witness testimony from Michael “Sosa” Reyes at one point, but it is unclear when he will take the stand.

The trial resumes Thursday."

‘Junior’ trial prosecutor tells judge jailhouse phone calls will implicate murder defendants in crime

MAY 30, 2019

"THE BRONX — Jailhouse phone calls involving four of the murder defendants in the savage slaying of “Junior” will implicate them in the death of the 15-year-old boy last June, the prosecutor told the judge Thursday.

“There are in these calls admissions by the defendants and places where they discarded weapons,” Prosecutor Morgan Dolan said.

Dolan made the revelations during a spirited court argument with defense attorneys and the defendants about their right to transcripts in the case.

Murder defendant Jonaiki Martinez Estrella, speaking in Spanish and using an interpreter, said he wanted “full access” to documents.

The five defendants were complaining that the Department of Correction wouldn’t let them see materials unless their attorneys were present....

She laid out a basic timetable for the last week of her case.

She plans to have a witness from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner on the stand early next week to talk about the autopsy performed on the slain teen.

Dolan said she hoped to have her prosecution case wrapped up by next Friday."

"THE BRONX – The father of slain teen Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz abruptly left a Bronx courtroom Thursday, sickened by the sight of his son’s blood-soaked shirt.

“I saw my son’s bloody T-shirt and I never want to see it again,” Lisandro Guzman told reporters outside the trial in his son's murder, speaking in Spanish.

An NYPD officer, Tai Oykawa, testified that Junior’s white T-shirt and decorative sweatshirt were so bloody that the evidence leaked through a brown bag and had to be revouchered....

Junior’s father watched intently and stayed calm in a second-row spectator’s seat, as his son’s bloody clothing was revealed in court for the first time.

A short time later, though, the dad seemed to get upset during the cross-examination of another witness, concerning a knife found in an alleged getaway car.

He left the courtroom abruptly with a security detail and was escorted out of the courthouse to a waiting car, telling reporters he never wanted to see the bloody shirt again.

Junior’s mother, Leandra Feliz, has not been back to court since last Thursday..."

"Bronx gangbangers were given the order to inflict “any kind of damage” they could on rivals just three days before the murder of innocent teen Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz, according to court testimony Friday.

A Trinitarios ringleader, Diego Suero, issued the order to his minions, who then mistook Guzman-Feliz for a rival when they stabbed him to death outside a bodega June 20, 2018, cooperating witness and gang member Michael Sosa Reyes, 20, told Bronx Supreme Court jurors...."

"THE BRONX — In testimony that drew gasps from courtroom spectators, cooperating witness Michael “Sosa” Reyes testified that one of Junior’s stabbers made a shocking comment in the getaway car Sosa was driving.

Speaking about “the one with the red hat,” Reyes testified the man said about the young victim he had just stabbed: “He’s not gonna eat for a good, long time, because I hit him in the neck.”

The guy with the red hat did more than just hit 15-year-old Lesandro “Junior” Guzman Feliz in the neck, according to prosecutors.

The blade from his 4 ½ inch knife allegedly sliced the teenager’s jugular vein.

Reyes identified the stabber in court, when the prosecutor showed him still images of murder defendant Jonaiki Martinez Estrella...."

A Paterson, N.J. police sergeant and officer revealed in a Bronx courtroom Thursday what happened during their raid of the gang hideout where six suspects in the murder of “Junior” were hunkered down. They described how one suspect leapt out a window when cops arrived, and another hid behind a fridge — his exposed arm giving him away.

Sergeant Rafael Hernandez of the Paterson Police Department testified that after getting a tip, he arrived with other cops at the home located at 260 E. 24 St. in Paterson at 1:46 p.m. that Sunday afternoon, June 24, four days after the shocking stabbing death of the boy outside a Bronx bodega...."

‘Junior’ Guzman-Feliz’s mom storms out of court, lawyers call for mistrial

June 4, 2019

"Lawyers for the gangbangers accused of murdering an innocent teen outside a Bronx bodega last year called for a mistrial Tuesday after the victim’s mother once again started yelling at a witness and then stormed out of court in front of jurors.

Leandra Feliz, the mother of victim Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz, repeatedly yelled, “You killed my son” in Spanish at cooperating witness Michael Sosa Reyes before storming out of court — the latest in a long line of dramatic outbursts by the aggrieved mom.

Amy Attias, lawyer for defendant Antonio Rodriguez, asked Bronx Supreme Court Justice Robert Neary for the mistrial, saying Feliz’s actions were “completely inappropriate” and called the outbursts “large and disturbing.”

“She walked out in front of the jury, completely inappropriate. She showed this court she can no longer [be here],” Attias told Neary after jurors left for a lunch break...."
