Co-defendant Fernandez testifies in Washington re-trial

By Staff | Jul 10, 2009

Alex Fernandez is yet another co-defendant who has pegged Roderick Washington as holding Jeffrey and Alexis Sosa at gunpoint when they were tortured in Kemar Johnston’s home, and then helping take the Sosas to a north Cape industrial park where they were killed in 2006.

“He was squatting down on the floor with a rifle in his lap,” Fernandez testified.

Washington also pistol whipped Alexis with a handgun at one point, he said.

Fernandez testified that Washington and co-defendant Kenneth Lopez carried the Sosas from the home and put them in the trunk of a car, and that Fernandez drove at Johnston’s threats.

“Basically if I didn’t comply, I could end up like the Sosas also,” he said.

Fernandez said a .380 later found in the glove box of his car was not his.

Fernandez said he had never heard of or been a part of the Cash Feenz, the rap group accused in the slayings.
