Former Caregiver Gets Life in Prison for Torture

A former caregiver convicted of torturing, taunting and body-slamming frail and elderly patients at an upscale California retirement home was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison.

Cesar Ulloa, 21, was convicted in April of one count of torture and seven counts of elder abuse. He was sentenced in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Van Nuys to life on the torture conviction and six additional years for the elder abuse.

"I wish you suffer forever," Rita Kittower, 86, told Ulloa before sentencing. She condemned him as a "cruel, evil caretaker" who inflicted "sadistic animal-like torture" on her late husband.

He will suffer forever, Rita. He suffers because he is who he is - a non-human.

YES! Life without possibility of parole, I hope. This is the only way to send a clear loud message - harsh punishment says: don't do it. If you don't like your job, leave and do not take out your hate and frustrations on helpless people that built our Country - you ungrateful psychopaths. This is the kind of news that restores my faith in mankind. Thank you.

Cesar Ulloa will not likely have so much fun in prison where people can fight back.

I am so sorry Rita Kittower and family for what you've been through and the nightmare that likely will never end.
