Lawyers, rabbis and a YouTube detective : the motley legal crew defending former president Hernandez?
Two rabbis come to the defense of Juan Orlando Hernández
Colon was chosen to defend Hernandez after he came to the notice of New York Rabbi Aaron Lankry. The rabbi who has a synagogue in Monsey, New York, about an hour’s drive north of downtown Manhattan, got to know Hernandez during visits to Honduras.
Lankry has stated he is helping Hernandez in recognition for his staunch support of Israel at the United Nations, including moving the Honduran embassy to the disputed holy city of Jerusalem.
Hernandez, who is an evangelical, is taking conversion classes to Judaism and receiving kosher meals in jail, according to the defense team.
