5 Years Probation in Scam

A QUEENS nursing home official was sentenced to five years’ probation Monday for trying to bilk an elderly patient of his $220,000 life savings with a bogus claim that she was his niece.

Jennifer Robinson, 37, pleaded guilty to a grand larceny charge in November.

Queens prosecutors say Robinson, the former social work director for the Long Island Care Center in Flushing, took advantage of Walter Witko, 85, when she realized he had no living relatives.

Witko, a retired music teacher, died in July 2010.

Probation? Then it might as well be "life" on probatation instead of 5 years. Probation isn't punishment.
