Rodriguez Death Sentence Appealed

US Attorney Drew Wrigley said he's received a copy of the death sentence appeal from Alphonso Rodriguez Jr.'s attorneys and it contains no surprises. Rodriguez was sentenced to death two years ago for the 2003 kidnapping and killing of Pequot Lakes woman Dru Sjodin. The deadline for the appeal was Monday. Wrigley said he would respond to the appeal as soon as possible. Rodriguez is waiting execution at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.
