Lawyer for man who allegedly dismembered wife says her death was ‘totally accidental’
The lawyer for a Prospect-Lefferts Gardens man who allegedly killed his wife on his birthday and waited a week before dismembering her, said Monday that it was all in self-defense.
Diana Rodriguez, 43, went missing in February, sparking a search led by her relatives.
Rodriguez’s husband, Phillip Martin, told her relatives that she left him and then he gave differing accounts of her whereabouts, according to a statement by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
