Danny Rodriguez, the Trump supporter who drove a stun gun into the neck of former Officer Mike Fanone, is due in virtual court at 3 p.m. before Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
Judge ABJ ruled in December that Danny Rodriguez's confession to the FBI is admissible at trial: huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
In his videotaped confession, the Trump fanatic described himself as "not smart," "so stupid," "an asshole," and "a piece of shit." huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
“What do you want me to tell you? That I tased him? Yes. Am I a fucking piece of shit? Yes.” huffpost.com/entry/danny-ro…
"My story is just that we thought that we were going to save America, and we were wrong."
One of Danny Rodriguez's co-defendants, the man known as #SwedishScarf, is believed to have fled the country. huffpost.com/entry/swedish-…
Danny Rodriguez has been detained pretrial for coming up on a year. He was arrested last March. huffpost.com/entry/daniel-j…
"I'm going to take it to trial," Danny Rodriguez claimed. "I guess I'll take my chances with the jury."
