Widow of slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller cries after career criminal Guy Rivera charged with first-degree murder
NY Post
A ruthless ex-con was arraigned on first-degree murder charges Tuesday in the traffic-stop shooting death of NYPD cop Jonathan Diller — as the slain hero’s widow sat in the midst of a sea of blue, the tears welling in her eyes.
Guy Rivera, 34, was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court on an indictment charging him with first and second degree murder, attempted murder and six counts of criminal possession of a weapon as dozens of New Yorks Finest packed the courtroom — standing with the slain cop’s family.
“Justice for Jonathan,” read a sign held by one of mourners.
“I hope that vicious, violent cop killer took a good look at the crowd in that courtroom because he’s going to see us every time he comes to court,” NYPD PBA President Patrick Hendry told reporters.
“Great husband, great father, just an all around great family man who loved being a police officer and loves his family,” Hendry added.
Rivera is charged with shooting Diller, 31, during a routine traffic stop in Far Rockaway. Diller, the married father of a 1-year-old son, had gone to check on the suspicious-looking Kia Soul where Rivera was sitting with accused cohort Lindy Jones, who was behind the wheel.
