David Renz, Accused Of Killing Woman, Raping Girl, Gets Beaten In Jail

[Cali_Democrat]

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A man accused of killing a Syracuse woman and raping her 10-year-old daughter during a carjacking was beaten and suffered a broken nose on his first day in jail, authorities said.

David Renz had a swollen face and tissues stuffed up both nostrils when he appeared in federal court Friday to face a probation violation charge.

"I have a broken nose," he told his lawyer, according to The Post-Standard in Syracuse (http://bit.ly/15b7NLd).

His attorneys, James Greenwald and Kenneth Moynihan, said Renz was assaulted by other inmates at the Onondaga County Justice Center, where he was taken following his arrest Thursday night.

Sheriff Kevin Walsh told the newspaper he was looking into why Renz was put into a holding area with other prisoners – not the usual practice in holding someone facing such accusations.

1. jails are full of violent criminals? who knew? nt

[Mnemosyne]

2. Probably the first of many beatings this guy earned. nt

6. Amazing that anyone in America conceptualizes our justice system that way

[Mnemosyne]

14. As a rape survivor, as the mother of a rape survivor, as the friend of

several women that have survived rape, as the daughter of a rape survivor, as the sister of rape survivors, I am tired of men getting away with this shit. I am not advocating the beating, nor rape of anyone, this guy does deserve his time in court.

I admit that I commented too quickly as an emotional reaction when I saw 10 years old. I mistakenly thought he had been convicted already. However, I cannot have much compassion for men like this one when they do finally reap what they have sown.

I do not believe in the death penalty either, not even for war criminals.

3. He should be segregated from other prisoners.

5. He should be able to sue the state for vast sums.

This is something people do not seem to get... the state is RESPONSIBLE FOR everything that happens in prison. The state creates the entire situation. The state makes it impossible for people to be safe.

Everything that happens in prison is on the state. With total authority comes total responsibility.

And the state is not allowed to beat people up, rape people, murder people without due process and a state death sentence, etc..

9. By all means, let him sue, so long as every penny he recovers gets garnished by

the estate of the woman he murdered/in trust for the child he raped.

A broken nose ain't shit compared to being raped as a ten-year old.

[Cali_Democrat]

11. Yup

So his beating would be a good thing for two reason:

1) This asshole gets to feel pain
2) The victim's estate gets money.

A win-win situation.

[geek tragedy]

12. and (3) the state feels a pinch for not doing its job in protecting prisoners. nt

[Marr]

13. Not a win/win, really.

I mean, if that's how it worked, you'd be setting up an enormous incentive for victims and their families to hire prisoners to beat the shit out their attackers in prison. It'd certainly be a win/win for THEM, but also a huge mess.

7. This guy is going to have a short lifespan behind bars

Baby-rapers don't last long in that crowd.

8. They're the lowest of the low, if put in the general population.

Retribution is sure, and it is without appeal. Which is why most departments house such people outside the general population.

10. Aw, the poor baby.

My heart bleeds. Really.

[DavidDvorkin]

15. He's been accused, not convicted

Keep that in mind.

[Dreamer Tatum]

16. Wow, what a liberal place this is

someone is accused of a crime, not convicted, gets the shit beaten out of him, and so far it's almost unanimous that it's a good thing.

Fucking crazy.
