By Breaking Belize News Staff: Attorney Norman Rodriguez has pushed back against Goldburn “Easy Glen” Adolphus’ claim that his aunt paid $1,200 for legal representation only for him to face his preliminary inquiry alone. Rodriguez said he received $800 and had already made several court appearances and prison visits on Adolphus’ behalf before being told his services were no longer needed.
Adolphus, 56, raised the complaint on November 10 after appearing without an attorney before the Chief Magistrate. At the end of the inquiry, the court committed him to stand trial in the January 2027 session of the High Court for the murder of Shaniele Faber. Rodriguez informed the court by letter that he no longer represented Adolphus.
In an interview, Rodriguez said he quoted $1,500 for the preliminary inquiry. He said Adolphus wanted the murder case to end at that stage, but he told him he could not promise that outcome because the prosecution’s statements appeared to contain enough evidence for the case to go to trial. Rodriguez said Adolphus later told him that his aunt would handle the matter.
Adolphus said he intends to take his complaint to the Bar Association and seek new legal representation. He has been on remand since his October 7, 2025 arraignment.
Faber, a 42-year-old school warden and mother of four, was found dead on October 4, 2025, by a man searching for bottles in a blue garbage drum at the corner of Amandala Drive and Cemetery Road in Belize City.
