The drug trafficking case against Puerto Rican television presenter Laura Hernandez, her husband Marcos Irrizary and seven alleged associates, was adjourned yesterday following the dismissal of one of the defense attorneys by one of the accused, Antonio Rodr?guez Morales. Rodr?guez Morales fired his lawyer Antonio N??ez N??ez, who also represents Irrizary, for falling asleep during hearings, but state attorney Ismael Tavares challenged this action, labeling it a delaying tactic. No new date has been set to resume proceedings against the group, who were arrested in September last year for allegedly smuggling a total of 70 kg of cocaine into the Dominican Republic.
