The Story of Nixzmary Brown

This week, Drewby and Yergy discuss the case of Nixzmary Brown, a 7-year-old girl from the Bed-Stuy neighborhood of Brooklyn, who met her fate at the hands of her stepfather, César Rodriguez, and her mother, Nixzaliz Santiago-Rodriguez. Nixzmary's Law was proposed in January 2006 by New York State Senator Joseph Bruno shortly after the events. The law is designed to deter or prevent CA-related crimes by charging parents connected to the crime of the death of their children with first-degree homicide. Since the passage of the law, reports have increased to New York State's CA hotline.
