LOS ANGELES - Two elderly women were sentenced to life in prison without parole Tuesday for murdering two indigent men to collect insurance policies taken out on their lives.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley on Tuesday sentenced 77-year-old Helen Golay and 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt to two consecutive life terms each.

In April the women were convicted of a scheme in which they befriended homeless men, took out insurance policies on them and then killed them in murders staged to look like hit-and-run auto accidents. Prosecutors say the women collected $2.8 million before the scheme was uncovered.

The judge denounced the women, saying the men they killed needed only food, water and shelter and thought the women were going to help them.

Who would insure 2 homeless guys for $2.8 million?

 

[QED]

Those two consecutive life terms will likely end up being a just few short years, I suspect.

I can't imagine a 77-year old woman who's never been to prison lasting very long there.

I always chuckle to myself when a person gets sentenced to multiple life terms...kinda redundant, no?

I think it was more of a "What insurer would insure 2 homeless guys for $2.8 million?" question.

Well they probably don't say, "We'd like to get some insurance for this homeless guy we just met two days ago."
He's probably passed off as some "family friend" or something of the sort.

Dude, these aren't your ordinary grannies. If you were somehow in the same prison, they'd probably make you their bitch.

Lick my support hose until it shines, bitch!

 

[QED]

This story reminds me of another scheming grandmother currently in the news, Betty Johnson Neumar.

Supposedly, she's been married 5 times, and each of her marriages has ended with her husbands untimely death. She even creaped out her grandson by asking if it was OK for her to take a life insurance policy out on him, with her as the beneficiary. Spooky...

Life is the max; with one life sentence, they'd probably be eligible for parole when they're in their 90s.
