A man has been convicted of charges that he beat and blinded a 78-year-old widow inside her Daly City home after she surprised him during a robbery attempt, a prosecutor said today.
Jose Perez-Gonzalez, 31, an illegal immigrant who was living in South San Francisco, broke into the woman's home in the Serramonte neighborhood Jan. 12, 2008, by prying open a rear sliding-glass door. When the woman confronted him, Perez-Gonzalez beat her in the face with his metal pry bar, an attack that left her blind.
Police found the victim semi-conscious and near death after they responded to a silent burglar alarm. She now lives in a rest home. Her name has not been released.
Perez-Gonzalez was a tenant in a South San Francisco apartment building that the victim's family owned. An acquaintance of Perez-Gonzalez telephoned the woman earlier in the day and posed as a package deliveryman to determine when she was going to be home, police said.
Perez-Gonzalez intended to burglarize the residence when no one was there, authorities said.
Police tracked him to his hometown of Guadalajara, where Mexican authorities arrested him in November 2008.

What did they convict the elderly widow of?
Racism, probably. And greedy landlordism.
But aren’t we told repeatedly that “Bush kept us safe after 9/11”...
Send Perez-Gonzalez to Sing-Sing and put his butt in the general pop. Make sure the other cons know why he’s there.
How can they convict this guy? San Francisco is a sanctuary city and everything goes.
He’s 31... young enough to get a GED and qualify for the DREAM act.
I did some research and the victim’s name and ethnicity has been hidden by all of the news sources I have tried to find, even the court records, which haven’t been updated online.
Imagine if 78-year old Maria Lopez-Hernandez were beaten with a crowbar until blinded by Hans Olafsson? The Media would not stop with the hate crime chat, Holder would be there with Jesse and Al with the Grajiva/La Raza crowd...Couric/Maddow/Olbermann/Williams/Schultz would be screaming for the death penalty....
But, alas, the victim was probably Anglo or Asian, and, well, that isn’t news or a hate crime.
What did they convict the elderly widow of? Heck I am just wondering when his Family intendes to sue the poor elderly widow , for interfering with his ability to earn a living and his quest for a better life in a sanctuary city and as the norm illegals will be afraid to come forward to report a crime, for fear of being arrested ?? Something like that
I’m stuned that the Comical used the phrase “illegal immigrant”.
I’d have expected “undocumented widow-beater”.
“Hans Olafsson?”
Well, if Hans Olafsson happened to be a Swedish Muslim, the media would once again become silent/s;)
“I did some research and the victim’s name and ethnicity has been hidden by all of the news sources I have tried to find, even the court records, which haven’t been updated online.”
She may have testified in court, and the judge insisted on concealing her identity to protect her against reprisal attacks. Just guessing....
Here is yet another case .A 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras will spend the rest of his life in prison after the Virginia Court of Appeals affirmed Nov. 16 the convictions against him for breaking into a Sterling Park home in 2008 and raping its elderly resident.
Arnold J. Mancia-Morales was convicted of rape, burglary while armed, abduction, and assault and battery in the case after a three-day trial in March 2009. In September 2009, a judge sentenced him to life in prison plus an additional 53 years.
During the trial, the 76-year-old victim testified about how her attacker had broken into her Ironwood Road home just after midnight Aug. 29, 2008, punched her, cut her fingers and sexually assaulted her for “what seemed like forever.”
After sentencing, Mancia-Morales’ attorneys filed an appeal in the case, claiming that statements used in trial that Mancia-Morales made to police were in violation of his Fifth Amendment right to legal counsel, that the abduction was incidental to the rape and not a separate crime deserving an additional charge, and that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the defendant had a knife when he entered the victim’s house.
The appellate court denied each of the three claims, putting the case to rest.
Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman was the prosecuting attorney in the case.
“A tremendous amount of effort was put into the preparation of this case to ensure that we presented a trial that was both factually thorough and legally accurate,” he said in a statement. “I’m pleased that the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court’s rulings, which give this case finality for our community.”

But they “work cheap”.
And, doing the work American’s won’t.
