Nelly Rodriguez-Diaz, a 19-year-old charged with murder for allegedly distracting a driver during a shooting, moves to gain release from jail amid claims of being a victim of human trafficking.
Described as kind and gentle, Rodriguez-Diaz’s lawyer highlights her learning disability and history as a trafficking victim, emphasizing her unarmed status during the incident, asserting her horror at the resulting death.
Rodriguez-Diaz's mother describes her daughter as loving and helpful, underscoring a stark contrast between her personality and the charges against her, painting a picture of innocence despite the serious allegations.
The defense motion primarily blames Rodriguez-Diaz’s co-defendant, Shawn't Lowe, for the homicide, arguing that she was misled into the dangerous situation and was horrified by the outcome.
