100 CENTRE
STREET,
Oct 30 – A man arrested for
murder and arson after the
body of a person the press
called his boyfriend was found
stabbed and disemboweled in
East Harlem in 2020 is on
trial now, in 2025.
It is a
bench trial before NYS Justice
Curtis J. Farber, who on
October 23 put his own
questions to the NYPD evidence
witness. Inner City Press was
there, along with fewer than a
half-dozen others in the large
courtroom gallery.
There was
extensive local media coverage
when the decedent's intestines
were found in the building's
hallway. Now? Not so
much.
Defense
counsel, retained by Aljo
Mrkulic, peppered the witness
with questions including if
she could conclusively
identify the flesh found in
the hallway. She could not,
except to note the hair on it.
Jump cut a week
forward: on October 30, the
ubiquitous Doctor Alexander
Bardey, whom Inner City Press
has covered in the trials of
Doctor Hadden and Kevin Rapp
versus Kevin Spacey (book
banned), was on the stand.
Shown video of the defendant
naked in the hall, dragging
the body of Christopher
Rodriguez, Dr. Bardey said his
behavior was not rational. He
noted the lack of attempt to
flee or conceal. The trial
continues.
