This evidence consists of cell phone analysis supporting the conclusion that co-defendants Christopher Otero-Rivera and Angel Rivera removed victim Nicole Montalvo’s vehicle from their property on the moming of Tuesday, October 22, 2019. This new evidence is inconsistent with the evidence upon which the charges were filed that supported the State’s belief Wanda Rivera assisted Angel Rivera in removing the vehicle on the evening of Monday, October 21, 2019. While this new evidence is not conclusive as to the nature and timing of the vehicle’s removal, it creates a reasonable doubt as to Wanda Rivera’s guilt and ethically obligates dismissal in the interests of justice. This action acts to dismiss the charges against co-defendant WANDA RIVERA only, as found in Counts III (as to WANDA RIVERA only), IV, and V, constituting any and all charges in 49-2019-CF-003814, DATED this Sth day of March, 2021 I HEREBY CERTIFY that a copy of the above has been furnished to Susan M Malove, 390 N Orange Ave Suite 2300, Orlando, FL 32801, by hand or mail delivery or clectronie service this Sth day of March, 2021 0.2020-25256 PAGE 2 NOLLE PROSEQUI STATE OF FLORIDA vs, WANDA RIVERA 2019-CF-003814-A WILLIAM M GLADSON STATE ATTORNEY FIFTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OF FLORIDA BY /s/ Matthew Rvan Williams Matthew Ryan Williams Assistant State Attorney Fla, Bar # 028645 425 N.
