Nixzmary's Stepfather Sentenced, Still Claims Innocence
A month after a jury found Cesar Rodriguez guilty of manslaughter in the brutal death of his 7-year-old stepdaughter NIxzmary Brown, a judge sentenced him to the maximum allowed, 26 /12 years to 29 years in jail. He told the court, "I loved Nixzmary...I can honestly say that I’m being accused of something I did not do...but I will take responsibility."
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Hall had to scold courtroom spectators who cheered after her verdict. The little girl had been starved, tortured, tied to a chair, and made to use a litter box during her short life by Rodriguez, but his lawyer claimed the final, fatal blow that killed her in January 2006 was dealt by her mother (who faces trial this summer). While his client was found not guilty of second-degree murder, Jeffrey Schwartz vowed to appeal.
Five jurors were present for the verdict. One, Barbara Burns, told Newsday, "He should have gotten life," while another, Janice Richardson said, "Great. I wish it could have been more."

Thankfully he'll be rrrreeaaallly taken care of in prison.
And no chance for a reach-around, either!
Good riddance sc*mbag.
thankfully, his final days are upon us.
"Thankfully he'll be rrrreeaaallly taken care of in prison."
is there any truth to this widely held belief or is it just a myth?
This dirtbag needs to be shanked, or better yet, have an impromptu meeting with a group of large African-American individuals in the shower room...
Fairly good chance, if history is any guide, prison guards will look the other way as this guy is put out of his misery by jailhouse ministers of justice.
"is there any truth to this widely held belief or is it just a myth?"
Crimes against children puts you on the bottom rung of the prison hierarchy. Not a myth at all.
He deserves everything that's coming to him.

evidence? links? i never hear of anyone receiving or dispensing this kind of justice. is there any proof that it exists?
Zodak, here's one example:

And here's another:

Need any more proof?
See the movie "Short Eyes (1977)." Piñero based his play (from which the screenplay was adapted) on a true story. Definitely, the low rung of the prison hierarchy.
thanks Rocknrope!
that's awesome.
