Day Four: Inmate testifies Flaco said he meant to kill Sammy, but didn't due to the baby

A man in a green jumpsuit, handcuffs and shackles is brought into court. A bailiff unlocks the handcuffs, but leaves the feet shackles on.

The man's name is Dennis Rodgers, he is 26 years old, and is being held at Oneida State Prison for felony drug charges he was arrested on March 2007. He is serving 3 1/2 years in prison for those charges.

He was incarcerated at Oneida County Jail at one point, where he at some timebecame familiar With Wesley Molina-Cirino (Flaco). While in the medical ward for a thumb injury in June, he came across some other inmates, who were having a conversation. He overheard a conversation between Flaco and another Spanish guy...speaking in broken english. Rodgers says he was able to understand the conversation.

He says he overheard Flaco say he was really going to kill Sammy, but didn't because there was a baby in the car, so shot Officer Lindsey instead. He said Flaco said he "just had to kill somebody."
