by Laquisha Jones, 30, of Los Angeles to a count of elder abuse was part of a deal with prosecutors in December.She also admitted to allegations of using a deadly and dangerous weapon — the brick — in the attack and that she inflicted great bodily injury on the man., but that count was dropped as part of the plea deal, according to prosecutors and Los Angeles County Superior Court records.
Prosecutors said Jones attacked the man, who is now 92 years old, without provocation on July 4, 2018, near 118th and Robin streets. Family members said the man, whom they identified as Rodolfo Rodriguez, was out on his daily walk around the neighborhood when he came across a woman and a girl on the sidewalk. The family members told KTLA that the woman confronted Rodriguez after he bumped into the child.
Authorities said he was struck with the brick from behind and was left unconscious on the sidewalk, his face bloodied and bruised. He was later treated at a hospital for a broken cheekbone, his family said.Misbel Borjas, who lives near Rodriguez, said she was passing by in a car when she saw Rodriguez walking and trying to pass the woman and girl. Then, Borjas said, she saw the woman push Rodriguez and start to hit him.
Seems like a light sentence for a crime where the man could easily have been killed. Another ignorant senseless hate crime.
Good
Wonder what her daughter got out of her great example!
Great job LAPD.
Glad to see Laquisha Jones get a lengthy sentence. It's awful to beat a 92 year old man. Attacks on elderly (in my humble opinion) are the worst. Even when they live, elders often don't recover from their injuries.
The question is, 'why was she not charged with a hate crime?' Further, 'why is the LAT's not calling it a hate crime? The long standing hatred between Latino's and Blacks is well known - though probably entirely limited to dense urban settings.
Good to hear she is going to prison...hope she has to do all of it and not half...
She’ll be out in 5
Prejudices is sickening and violence is worst. Both cost societies a lot.
not nearly long enough!
Be hateful. Pay for your hate.
Many thanks to this judge.
Good, and the bitch got off easy.
LadyJudi I like this judge!
Enjoy prison
Why won’t they show picture of the attacker?
