A criminal case in Miami-Dade County against Rodriguez and Artiles goes to trial next month. The two have pleaded not guilty but Rodriguez is cooperating with prosecutors.
“Whatever violations Mr. Rodriguez wants to admit to before the commission is a matter between him and the commission and has no effect whatsoever on Mr. Artiles or our case in criminal court,” wrote the attorney for Artiles, Frank Quintero, when reached for comment by NBC 6. Maybe he is being forced to admit ethical violations in order to appease the state or bolster his position in the criminal case against Mr. Artiles or both.
