GUILTY NY - Deloris Gillespie, 73, burned alive on elevator, Brooklyn, 17 Dec 2011

[Quiche]

This crime just sets my entire body reeling-- it's hard to comprehend the terror. :thud:

Bless those who loved and survived her-- she sounds like a wonderful woman with many good friends. May they somehow recover from incomprehensible horror of this crime. Again, a close community left with an elevator shaft of nightmares. :cry:

"The wild-eyed fiend accused of burning a Brooklyn woman to death inside an elevator was held without bail at his arraignment today and placed in protective custody.

Jerome “Jerry’’ Isaac, 47, was reeking of gasoline when he turned himself in to cops more than eight hours after the horrific torching Saturday that killed 73--year-old churchgoer Delores Gillespie."

This is absolutely horrific. I pray with every ounce of my being that those elevator cameras help capture this monster.

‘Fire fiend stole keys’


The monster accused of cornering a beloved Brooklyn grandmother in her building’s elevator and setting her ablaze waged a months-long campaign of terror against the defenseless victim — stealing the keys to her apartment and repeatedly jamming the locks every time she changed them, relatives said yesterday.

“The keys went missing for three or four days in June. He took them and made copies of them,” fumed Saeed Norris, 17, slay victim Delores Gillespie’s grieving grandson.

Suspect Jerome “Jerry” Isaac, who is being held without bail at Rikers on murder and arson charges, allegedly harassed the terrified woman, claiming she owed him more than $2,100 for odd jobs he supposedly did in her apartment.

WHAT??

From your article:

“Whatever plea deal is struck would result in a very significant sentence.”

It should result in death....IMO.....

 

[ohiogirl]

From the link, the family is for this. He won't live to get out, 50 years would make him 98.

 

[buffetoflies]

Then why bother with a plea deal if he won't ever get out either way?
This is part of the reason why I hate this country.

If you "hate" this country then maybe you should leave...WTF?

 

[Moxie Vi]

Since a plea deal is the only way to spare the expense (mental & fiscal) of a trial, if the victim or the family is supportive then so am I. Especially if he won't ever be free again!

Then move?!

 

[buffetoflies]

georgiagirl & egirl - do you know what a 'figure of speech' is?

 

[CanManEh]

If a plea deal stops the familly from just having to view the footage of what happend to thier beloved familly member then iam ok with it .Besides then they can put him in Gen PoP my guess is he leaves prison in less then one year after he goes to GP most likely zipped up in a body bag...You know what I would like to see for these crimes the serious ones exspecially like rape or murder and it's like this guy its 100 percent certin its him they should have what they did , Thier crime tattoed on thier foorhead thats one thing i would like to see...

 

[CarolinaMoon]

It's a good plea deal, he'll never get out. Remember NY doesn't have the death penalty.
