Further Arraignment: July 14 at 8 a.m. in Depart- ment 3 Courtroundup By Don Thompson TheAssociatedPress SACRAMENTO Nearly 15 hours after a riot at a Northern California prison, guards found a missing in- mate sawed nearly in two, with his abdominal organs and most chest organs re- moved, his body folded and stuffed into a garbage can in a shower stall a few doors from his cell. Details of the gruesome May killing at the medium- security California State Prison, Solano, are laid out in an autopsy report ob- tained by The Associated Press under a public records request. The grisly discovery raises obvious questions about the prison's security: How could such a grue- some killing happen in- side a locked facility with security and surveillance? How could someone obtain weapons sharp enough to dissect a body? And why did it take so long to uncover? Homicides are distress- ingly common in Califor- nia prisons. More than 160 inmates have been killed in the last 15 years, and the state has one of the na- tion's highest inmate homi- cide rates. Yet the death of 24-year-old Nicholas An- thony Rodriguez stands out. Rodriguez's missing or- gans are "still part of the investigation" at the prison in Vacaville, 40 miles south- west of Sacramento, Depart- ment of Corrections and Re- habilitation spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Friday. No one has been charged with killing Rodriguez, an Oakland man who was serving an eight-year rob- bery sentence from Alameda County. However, Thornton said his cellmate, a 46-year- old man serving a life sen- tence for a Los Angeles County murder, is consid- ered the only suspect and is being held in segregation. Thornton said she couldn't say how the homicide was carried out or concealed since it's still being investi- gated. "It just blows my mind, because officers are looking in on inmates all the time," said Christine Ward, exec- utive director of the Crime Victims Action Alliance. "Unfortunately, we know that there are drugs, there's alcohol, there are weapons. As much as the officers can police that, we know we've got the toughest, the bad- dest, the most violent crim- inals in our state prison and unfortunately some of the most cunning prisoners in there as well. They are go- ing to find ways to do that." Rodriguez's body was dis- covered around 9:30 p.m. May 4, 14½ hours after in- mates were ordered locked in their cells following a brawl between 58 inmates in his housing unit. Three pris- oners and one correctional officer were injured in the fight, and Thornton said an inmate-made weapon was recovered. She declined to describe it. Despite the riot and re- sulting investigation, Ro- driguez was not discovered missing until a head count at 4:30 p.m. Thornton said officials initially assumed he had escaped. Investigators are look- ing into whether the riot was created to conceal the slaying or allow someone to move the body. "It's very difficult to cover every contingency with the limited staff that we have," said Chuck Alexander, pres- ident of the California Cor- rectional Peace Officers As- sociation that represents most prison guards. "This kind of thing at So- lano, sad to say I predict it's just a precursor," he said. He noted a 2011 Califor- nia law that keeps lower- level offenders in county jails, leaving state prisons to hold the most violent crimi- nals. Changes in prison poli- cies, meanwhile, mean more dangerous offenders are be- ing housed in lower-secu- rity prisons like medium- security. Rodriguez had alcohol in his system and was dead be- forehewaseviscerated,killed by blows to the head that left him with a deep star-shaped wound on his forehead amonghismultipleskullfrac- tures,cutsandotherwounds, according to the May 27 au- topsyreportconductedbythe Solano County Sheriff coro- ner's office. His mother, Maria Ro- driguez of Oakland, said she has been given no de- tails about what happened. She said she had not seen the autopsy report but said she knew her son's body was badly injured. "When I saw my son ... at the funeral, he was so bad in the face," she said in a telephone interview. "I called them last week, and they say they're going to tell me in two weeks or in three weeks, but right now we don't got nothing."
