NIXZMARY STEPDAD GUILTY AGAIN

Nixzmary Brown’s killer had another conviction added to his record yesterday.

Cesar Rodriguez, 29, pleaded guilty to hiding a shiv in his cell at Rikers Island as he awaited trial for killing his 7-year-old stepdaughter. Guards found the makeshift knife in March 2007.

Judge Steven Barrett said Rodriguez could serve his one-to-three-year sentence for the knife concurrently with the 29-year term he got after a jury convicted him of manslaughter and unlawful imprisonment for beating, tying up and starving the young girl.
