In the week between his alleged murder of two people in Southern Humboldt and his arrest in Chico, Ulisses Rodriguez had a special interest in two topics: shopping for a car and reading news articles about the killings.
Law enforcement tracked double-murder suspect Ulisses Rodriguez to his home in Chico after confidential prosecution witness “John Doe” provided them with Rodriguez’s cellphone number, an investigator testified on the third day of trial.
It may have been the first time he ever said it, but on Tuesday prosecution witness “John Doe” insisted that a day before Ulisses Rodriguez allegedly murdered a Southern Humboldt couple, Rodriguez said he would “kill and burn” the two if they returned to his marijuana grow.
Sentencing for triple-murderer Mauricio Johnson has been delayed by nearly four weeks because the Probation Department failed to provide a pre-sentence report in time.
