An undocumented immigrant who gashed the throat of his 84-year-old neighbor in Slidell and stole money from her home last December should spend the next half-century in prison, a St. Tammany Parish judge decided this week.
Through an English language interpreter, Ricardo Tenorio-Palma, 21, pleaded guilty in October to attempted first-degree murder and armed robbery in the attack. On Thursday, state Judge Martin Coady sentenced Tenorio to concurrent terms of 50 years for each count.
The maximum sentence for attempted first-degree murder is 50 years, while armed robbery is punishable by up to 99 years. Coady, however, agreed to cap any sentence handed down at 50 years, court records show.
"I was hoping to live long enough to see him get sentenced," the victim, Eula Reno, said Friday. "I'm glad ... he got a good, long time.
A year and a day before the sentencing hearing, Tenorio walked across the street from his residence in the 3000 block of College Street about noon and snuck into Reno's home through a side door that had been left ajar for her cat to get in and out. He slashed the woman's neck with a razor that apparently came from a utility scraper.
Tenorio fled from the home with no more than $65. According to investigators, he later used the cash to buy food and hair clippers.
Meanwhile, Reno activated a medical alert device she wore. The company called her son-in-law, who rushed to her home after his phone calls were met with a busy signal.
The son-in-law then had to call 911 from Reno's neighbor's home -- her medical alert device had tied the phone line up.
Reno survived her injuries. She identified Tenorio as her attacker and shared other information with police before undergoing emergency surgery.
At the time, Mayor Freddy Drennan, who was then police chief, said, "She's very

There are not too many illegals here.
This is a good use of a medical alert device that will never make a commercial.
One more thing, Freddy Drennan is now the mayor.
Pretty boy is gonna be bending over a lot very soon .
And yet there are those that think the death penalty is cruel.
Reno, in return, paid him money. She also tried to aid him and his housemates, giving them an old couch and other items, police said.
There's a moral to this part of the story.
An ILLEGAL ALIEN ..
Fixed it!
Committing the Attempted Murders Americans won’t do?
I say stack razor wire 5 rolls high and five rolls wide next to a two story building, then have that SOB fall into the razor wire.
Leave him there for a few days, release a flock of crows and open a 1 gallon jar full of scarabs next to him.
Done.
THe Times-Picayune, still Politically Correct BSer.
“Undocumented” my ass. He’s “illegal”. Somebody buy that rag’s editor a dictionary so he can Funk and Wagnall himself.
In the victims words, “I knew him,” Reno said Friday. “I couldn’t understand why he was doing it.”
He did it because he is not an American. He is from a Turd World ‘culture’ south f the American border.
This case is proof that no culture can survive large scale immigration if those whose culture is profoundly different.
Culture counts.
Diversity is NOT our strength.
Problem is: Our ‘Rulers’ who live in gated communities and have Government, paid for bodyguards, Don’t Give A Damn!
They want the votes, Illegal or otherwise .. America .. Be Damed!
Undocumented? What, did he drop them, lose them, did the state dept forget to give him his documents...before he murdered the lady?
Fortunately, no thanks to the defendant's actions, the lady survived.
From the article-
"Reno survived her injuries. She identified Tenorio as her attacker and shared other information with police before undergoing emergency surgery."
There are not too many illegals here.One is to many.
