EXCLUSIVE | After months of fighting, a former Bronx high school dean who federal prosecutors say led a double life as a drug kingpin will now be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea and go to trial.

former Bronx high school dean

As The Daily Beast reported in December, Garcia—with the support of his family and former students—has been battling to retract his plea to what federal prosecutors called a “decade-long narcotics conspiracy” while behind bars. Garcia, his supporters say, used his past to inspire the youth he worked with as dean for New Visions Charter School for the Humanities I and II.

Rakoff allowed Garcia to switch lawyers but initially shot down the plea-change request. But in September, a recording surfaced which allegedly documented a conversation in which Zaltzberg told Garcia and Hernandez that if he went to trial, he would never see his daughter again.
