In a news report today, two elderly woman were given life in prison for a insurance fraud scheme. WTF?

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Wesley on Tuesday sentenced 77-year-old Helen Golay and 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt to two consecutive life terms each.

In April the women were convicted of a scheme in which they befriended homeless men, took out insurance policies on them and then killed them in murders staged to look like hit-and-run auto accidents. Prosecutors say the women collected $2.8 million before the scheme was uncovered.

The judge denounced the women, saying the men they killed needed only food, water and shelter and thought the women were going to help them.

“Instead, these unfortunate men were sacrificed on your altar of greed,” Wesley said.

Both women were convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder for financial gain in the 1999 death of Paul Vados, 73, and the 2005 death of Kenneth McDavid, 50.

Both men were run over by cars in dark alleys. Police linked the cases when a detective investigating one overheard a colleague describe a similar case.

What do two old ladies need with $2.8 million dollars? What happened to bingo and shuffle board? I doubt this is their first crime and so sinister. Where are their kids? My astrological bet is this story is made into a movie.
