"Rose Morat (8 April 1906–) is a 102-year-old New York City resident and retired telecommunications worker.[1] On the afternoon of March 4, 2007 she was viciously assaulted and mugged in the lobby of her building on the way to church. A grainy video captured the assault, during which the alleged attacker, Jack Rhodes, 44,[2] struck her several times in the face. The video has been broadcast by media outlets world wide and has incited outrage among New Yorkers.[3]"

Re: “Jack Rhodes, 47 at the time of the robbery/beating”
Correction: the SB was about 45 at the time. He is now 47.

Correction #2: “including video of the March 2007 vicious beating inside an elevator”
The beating of course took place in the *lobby* of her apartment bldg.
BTW: these are my own errors I am correcting. I hope they are the last. I’m tired. Got to get to bed!

Rhodes is no longer a “suspect” as the headline says. He’s a convict! Wonderful she lived long enough to see him convicted.

From today's New York Post...
HATEFUL THUG: Jack Rhodes faces up to 90 years in prison on his hate-crime
conviction in the violent mugging of Rose Morat, now 103, and two other women.
"Prosecutors said Morat, who uses a walker [then 101 years old], was getting off the elevator in her Jamaica Estates apartment building when Rhodes offered to open the front door for her.
The ex-con then punched her repeatedly before grabbing her pocketbook, which contained $33 and her house keys, and fled on a bike.
A half-hour later, Elizee, who also uses a walker [then 87], was opening the door to her Jamaica apartment when Rhodes forced his way inside and punched her in the face before robbing her, prosecutors said."
