The killing of a man who was set to testify against MS-13 gang members in open court has ignited debate about New York state's new criminal justice reforms.
Wilmer Maldonado Rodriguez was found dead Sunday outside his home on Long Island, police said. Rodriguez had intervened as gang members were threatening two boys when he was stabbed and beaten in October of 2018.
New York's controversial new discovery law, enacted on Jan. 1 with a slew of other criminal justice reforms, dictates when prosecutors can release information about individuals involved in crimes, including identities. Weeks before Rodriguez's death, a judge ordered prosecutors to disclose his identity to the lawyers representing the gang members accused of attacking him.

"a judge ordered prosecutors to disclose his identity to the lawyers representing the gang members accused of attacking him."
Then that damn judge should be held accountable for the witness's death. It's going to get worse unless the government steps up and does the right thing.
