“18 months going to be 19 months. It was stressful,” he said.
In normal times, Filsmarge, who said he didn’t stab the man, would have gone to trial in the spring of 2020, but the pandemic stopped all criminal trials in Miami-Dade and Broward. Then a few days ago a surprise he was told to go home. I was happy. My wife picked me up. I come home to my mom. She was happy to see me,” Filsmarge said.
“We couldn’t get the case to trial because of the pandemic. Finally, the state agreed to dismiss the case, and now he s out and he’s back with his family even though he had a pretty arduous many months in there. He caught COVID while he was in the jail,” Richard Della Ferra, his attorney, said.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) A 15-year-old boy is accused of forcing a South Florida real estate agent to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash before fatally shooting him last month.
The teen was arrested Friday while in custody on an unrelated case and charged with second-degree murder and robbery. The Broward State Attorney s Office announced Tuesday they are charging him as an adult in the Feb. 1 killing of Stefano Barbosa, 37.
Stefano had just obtained signatures from a customer that afternoon when the teen approached him with a gun. Prosecutors said the teen forced Barbosa to drive to a Bank of America machine and make two withdrawals of $500.
