I kid you not. This was the Molly retrial in front of Judge Moreno. This time, it ended in a guilty verdict.
Dave Ovalle covers it here:
Prosecutors also introduced text messages, jail phones calls from Melton and Hernandez to Pereira, who was in jail on an unrelated case. Also shown to the jury were records that the government said showed at least 12 boxes of Molly were ordered to the company, Transfreight International.
The star witness was Hernandez, 37, a heavily tattooed former U.S. Army soldier and Arabic linguist who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. In an only-in-Miami moment, both sides sparred over the meaning of the smiley-faced “poop” emoji in a text from Hernandez to Melton — with the government insisting it was sent to indicate alarm over law-enforcement scrutiny on their operation.
As Billy Corben would say: "Because Miami."

It's chocolate ice cream!
ReplyDeleteIt's B3!
ReplyDeleteI feel like the poop emoji is translation for "shit is about to go down" and I'm definitely getting kicked out of St. Thomas Law and I'm definitely going to federal prison. Basically, my life is officially over. I like Rosen, but this kid should have taken a deal after the first mistrial.
