Sounds Like She's Guilty
There's a woman on trial in Naples, Florida who is accused of stealing from a woman with Huntington's Disease and her husband a stroke victim.
The woman on trial, Queen Elnora Graham, was working for Bruce and Betty Stromgren as a home health aide as they were both in wheelchairs. Graham also did a little shopping - to the tune of over $47,000 in cash and merchandise.
Graham, (are you sitting down for this?) states she was buying for Betty. Picture this...Betty has Huntington's Disease that has progressed far enough to require her to use a whelechair. Based on the charges, two counts of exploitation of the elderly, we know Betty and her husband are probably senior citizens. Graham states that out of the goodness of her heart she was helping Betty buy things such as lingerie and leather mini-skirts. Supposedly, Betty would "stand" outside of the store and point to what she wanted and Graham would make the purchase. Of course there is the little detail of the store clerks saying that Graham mentioned she was buying them for herself.
Graham says the couple isn't in as bad of shape as they claim. Others wonder that if that was the case...why did she need to sign the credit slips for them?
Sound's like Queen Graham should have plead guilty.
