The four people arrested in connection with Tuesday's Amber Alert
want the charges dropped. They were in court Thursday afternoon,
challenging the charges in connection with the kidnapping of 3 year old
Ismyella Rodriguez.
The debate over Ismyella's blood relation to Mario Rodriguez had a big
impact in the investigation of her alleged abduction. Police couldn't
prove he's the father, so they issued an Amber Alert and charged him
with kidnapping. On Thursday, the debate came back into the picture
again. This time, the debate unfolded before a judge.
It was a family affair in Judge Maria Dominguez's courtroom. The man
claiming to be Ismyella Rodriguez's father, her grandfather, an aunt and
a family friend all appeared in court. Police say Mario Rodriguez
forced his way into a babysitter's home and kidnapped Ismyella on
Tuesday. He's charged with kidnapping. But the defense says the charge
shouldn't stick.
"The charge of kidnapping is greatly overcharged and actually fits the
statute of custodial interference," said the defense, appearing via
video from the Metro Detention Center.
Using the same argument, the defense said conspiracy to commit
kidnapping shouldn't stick in the cases against Jason Beech and Tricia
Saucedo. They came to Albuquerque from Alamagordo and were found in a
hotel room with Rodriguez and Ismyella.
"They came up from Alamagordo after the incident and were not involved
in any pre conversations with Mr. Rodriguez," the defense said.
The judge wouldn't drop those charges either. And she wouldn't budge in
the case of Ismyella's grandfather, Ubaldo Rodriguez. He too was in the
hotel room that night. He's charged with conspiracy and harboring a
felon.
But KOB Eyewitness News 4 has learned the harboring charge could be
tossed out, because the state statute for harboring a felon doesn't
apply to parents.
The cases against all four defendants will have to be turned over to a
grand jury within 10 days, which will then decide if and how the charges
will move forward.
