Oakland: Judge allows teen to return home, attend church while her murder case is pending

OAKLAND — A 19-year-old woman has been released from jail while she faces pending charges of assisting her pimp in the killing of a local motorist, court records show.

Nelly Rodriguez-Diaz, of Oakland, was released from jail in late September, but equipped with a GPS monitoring device and ordered to stay at home, court records show. At a court hearing last week, Judge David Pereda, who signed off on Rodriguez-Diaz’s release, also agreed to let her attend church twice each week on Sundays and Tuesdays.
