MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Onelio Castro-Arroyo unleashed his anger in Miami-Dade County court. <\/p>\n
He shouted in Spanish at Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Ellen Sue Venzer during a plea hearing on Wednesday at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building in Allapattah. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am asking you not to interrupt me, Sir,\u201d Venzer told Castro-Arroyo during the hearing. <\/p>\n
A Spanish to English translator helped Castro-Arroyo, 58, who stands accused of stabbing his 45-year-old estranged wife 16 times in front of their 7-year-old daughter in 2019 in Miami-Dade County. <\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office detectives reported the girl, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, saw her father fatally stabbing her mother, Yanelis Gonz\u00e1lez, inside a parked car at the Country Club Villas Park north of Miami Lakes. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis judge wants to convict me by force,\u201d Castro-Arroyo told Venzel in court.<\/p>\n
Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies arrested Castro-Arroyo on May 21, 2019. Prosecutors filed a case against him a day later on charges of second-degree murder with a weapon and tampering with evidence. <\/p>\n
Prosecutors dropped the charge of tampering with evidence. On Wednesday, Venzel asked Castro-Arroyo if he was accepting a plea deal from the prosecution on the murder charge. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am not going to accept anything,\u201d Castro-Arroyo told Venzel. <\/p>\n
While in handcuffs, Castro-Arroyo slammed his hand on a wooden divider\u2019s flat surface. He was behind the attorneys who stood before Venzel. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m in no rush at all,\u201d Castro-Arroyo, a convicted felon serving a prison sentence, told Venzel. <\/p>\n
The Florida Department of Corrections has had custody of Castro-Arroyo off and on since Nov. 30, 2015, and his scheduled release from prison isn\u2019t until Dec. 10, 2028, according<\/a> to state records. <\/p>\n Castro-Arroyo has five convictions, going back to 2014 in Miami-Dade: Arson, possession of illegal vehicle fuel transport, criminal mischief, grand theft, and driving with a suspended license. <\/p>\n
