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.
Convicted SoHum Home Invader Sentenced to Nine Years in Prison
One of two men who invaded and robbed a Southern Humboldt home, terrorizing a father and his daughter, was sentenced this morning to nine years in state prison.
Franklin Antonio Molina received the sentence as part of a negotiated deal, with Judge Kaleb Cockrum imposing six years for robbery and three years for a special weapons allegation. Molina also was sentenced for false imprisonment, assault with a firearm and making criminal threats, but those terms will run concurrently with the nine years.
In December 2018 shortly before Christmas, Molina and another man showed up at Adam Owen’s rural residence about an hour’s drive from Garberville. They wore ski masks, brandished guns and demanded money.
