Video: Update on developments in the Peña murder case
OCTOBER 19 -- The latest delay in the trial of Domonic Whilby, who caused the death of Bus Operator William Pena, took place today in Manhattan Criminal Court. Pena’s widow, Nancy Rodriguez, attorney Sanford Rubenstein, and supporters from TWU Local 100 were on hand to hear Judge Gregory Carro announce that the trial would begin early next year. In the interim, the defense has asked for evidence to be submitted to a toxicologist for analysis, and that should happen next month. Outside court, Nancy was sorrowful at the long delay and adamant that she will oppose any plea deal for her husband’s killer.
