Nixzmary Brown was a little girl here in New York who was tortured for years and finally murdered by the degenerate wife beating child molester Caesar Rodriguez. The mother, an unassimilated immigrant who needed a translator at trial, was no prize either. She sat by as the seven year old was bound to chairs, sexually assaulted, and literally starved half to death before the man she so desperately loved murdered the girl in a savage attack. These two people need to be punished for their disgusting crimes.

And right now reporters from The New York Times and The NY post are hampering their prosecution. The question is why? From CSB:

The cases against Cesar Rodriguez and Nixaliz Santiago took another strange turn today as prosecutors attempted to subpoena two reporters who spoke with the defendants shortly after they were arrested and charged with killing Nixzmary Brown.

In separate jailhouse interviews conducted at Riker’s Island, both Rodriguez and Santiago related the events of that night to reporters.

[…]

Even though prosecutors have police interviews where Cesar details, in cold detail, what happened that night, defense attorneys have already begun to argue that the police questioned the him without giving him proper access to an attorney.

In Santiago’s case, her lawyers claim that police fed her the story she gave during police questioning, worried that they would not let her see her other children.

The two newspapers, The New York Times and The New York Post both are fighting the subpoenas, claiming that if reporters are required to speak about what they are told in interviews, that it could jeopardize their ability to cover future stories. It is believed that if people are worried that reporters will divulge information they learned in interviews that they will be more hesitant to speak with reporters.

Disgusting. These reporters are putting the image of reporting as “the noble profession” they’ve been cultivating before their civic and moral responsibilities. Read the whole post, which includes contact info for those of you who want to tell these two papers exactly what you think of their decision to put pretension ahead of justice for a seven year old murder victim.

So why are these reporters hampering the prosecution? The answer is simple: they care more about what their colleagues think of them than about that poor little girl.
