Bonita Martinez to ask judge in Chula Vista to assign a different attorney just three months before murder trial
, will likely be delayed for at least another year. His defense lawyer, Bonita Martinez, tells NBC 7 Investigates she now plans to ask Judge Enrique Camarena Jr. for permission to stop representing him at a court hearing this Tuesday. The decision comes less than four months before Larry's murder trial was scheduled to begin.
Criminal defense attorney David Shapiro is not involved in Larry’s case, but he says if a judge allows Larry to get a public defender, he would likely be assigned a team of highly experienced lawyers. “You’re taking the case over as if you got it from day one,” said Shapiro. “And in a way, you’re sort of second-guessing everything that’s been done. What would we have done differently? What could we have done differently? What should have been done differently?”Which is why, Shapiro said, any change up in the defense almost certainly guarantees the murder trial will not start this January.
