Woman gets 15 years for attacking 92-year-old with brick, telling him to 'go back to your country

A California woman was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the racially charged beating of a 91-year-old Mexican man that was captured on camera and drew public outrage online last year.

CNN reported that Laquisha Jones, who pleaded no contest to one count of elder abuse in December after she was captured on video beating Rodolfo Rodriguez with a brick last July, was handed the sentence Thursday.

Rodriguez was assaulted by Jones while he was taking a routine walk around his neighborhood on July 4 last year.

It was previously reported that the man accidentally bumped into Jones’s daughter on the sidewalk, leading the 30-year-old mother to push him to the ground.
