Justice for Nixzmary Brown in Brooklyn
The mother of Nixzmary Brown was sentenced to 40 1/3 years to 43 years. Nixzaliz Santiago claimed that she was an abused woman and tried to get off from this sentencing. Yet, the court found that she should have protected Nixzmary and could have prevented her death.
Tears flow down my cheeks – sadness because I am reminded of the awful life and death of a sweet little girl. I’m relieved that Nixzaliz Santiago was sentenced to the maximum. I am glad that this neglectful and abusive mother will spend decades in jail. Defense attorney, Sammy Sanchez needs to get a life instead of appealing a case inwhich he knows the defendant is guilty. Find another case you can milk for money Sanchez.
Kudos to Nixzmary’s Soldiers for being there to hear the sentencing. Thank you for fighting the battle and speaking up for what is right and just. Thank you for reminding people that children matter. I look forward to the future where you help shape laws which protect children.
REST IN PEACE NIXZMARY!
Hugs,

While I’m happy that the mother was sentenced, I don’t necessarily agree with your point about the defense attorney. It’s his job to do everything he can for his client, even when that client is reprehensible. Without defense attorneys, we can have no justice system.
