CENTRE STREET,
Oct 6 – When Gianluca Bordone
was arrested for the death of
Rocco Rodden back in 2023, it
was news throughout the
tri-state area: teen from
Oyster Bay released on $1
million bond after a stabbing
in front of an ax-throwing bar
on Lafayette Street in lower
Manhattan.
Jump cut to
October 6, 2025 to a large
courtroom atop 100 Centre
Street, three blocks from the
scene of the crime. On the
stand was Doctor Tiffany Lin
of the Chief Medical
Examiner's office.
Since
joining that Office from
California in 2023, she
testified, she has conducted
more than 300 autopsies in the
City That Never Sleeps. On
this one, she described a deep
stabbing wound to the heart,
saying that saving his life in
the hospital would have been
difficult if not
impossible.
The courtroom was
full, not of media but of
family members. But Inner City
Press was there, for this case
and another, even less
reported, even at the
beginning.
