Adam Beniquez is a serial killer in
the United States. They were active from 1990–1991 . They currently
have 1 victims, though they are suspected of 9 . According to
Wikipedia, Puerto Rican career criminal tied to 9 murders .
This happened primarily in Puerto Rico.
He was sentenced to Sentenced 25 years to life imprisonment .
His appeal includes:
We further find that the defendant was entitled to challenge the
admissibility of physical evidence seized when he was arrested. The
record reveals that after the
Huntley hearing had been conducted
and subsequent to jury selection, the People revealed that they intended
to introduce certain physical evidence seized at the time of the
defendant's arrest. The defense counsel once again raised the issue of
the Puerto Rican arrest warrants and requested permission to challenge
the legality of the seizure of the evidence at a pretrial hearing. The
court denied the application, concluding that probable cause for the
arrest had already been established at the prior suppression hearing at
which a different Judge had presided.
Since the defendant had been improperly precluded from examining the
arrest warrants and challenging their validity, he was never afforded a
full and fair opportunity to litigate the issue of probable cause and,
thus, whether the evidence recovered at the time of his arrest had been
legally seized. Accordingly, the court's reliance upon the prior
suppression ruling, in denying the defendant's request for a hearing in
connection with the admissibility of the physical evidence, constituted
error (
cf.,
People v Aguilera,
82 N.Y.2d 23,
31). Under the circumstances, the defendant should have been afforded
the right to challenge the seizure of the physical evidence at a
pretrial suppression hearing.
Victims:
 |
| Officer Dexter Mardenborough |
His victims include Officers Jose Bernabe Gonzalez and Pedro Sanchez Lopez, a man in Puerto Rico, three men in a car in Saint Thomas, Daniel Valentine (shooting victim), a shoot out with two men outside a nightclub in New York, and Officer Dexter Mardenborough, and a jewelry store manager, Luis Medina. I will never understand how on earth this man was released, but there you go.
You can not write to Adam Beniquez as he has been paroled.
Scary right?
