Flashermac Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 LOS ANGELES - Two elderly women accused of killing two transient men with a car so they could collect nearly $3 million in insurance money were videotaped talking about the scheme while in FBI custody, the prosecutor said in opening statements Tuesday. "It's your fault," Olga Rutterschmidt, 75, told co-defendant Helen Golay, 77, in the tape played for the jury. "You can't have that many insurers. ... You were greedy. That's the problem." Truc Do, Los Angeles County deputy district attorney, said the women befriended the two men and took out insurance policies on their lives, then drugged them and ran them over to make it look as if the two homeless men had been killed in hit-and-run accidents. Rutterschmidt and Golay each have pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder and two counts of conspiracy to commit murder for financial gain in the deaths of 73-year-old Paul Vados in 1999 and 51-year-old Kenneth McDavid in 2005.

rogueyam Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 What do a 75 year old and a 77 year old need with $3 million anyway? You get $500 K, buy an annuity and you're set. Greedy is right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 USA prisons have a higher percentage of older citizens as patrons, as opposed to what the elderly population was a decade ago. Hard to figure out the reason, but then the USA has an unusal percentage of people in jail or prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
