On April 16th, an 81-year-old man facing terminal illness just got hit with a seven-year prison sentence for trying to rob a 95-year-old woman in her southward home. This guy, a former pharmacy delivery driver, named Morrison, targeted her because he remembered her tipping him back in the day. On April 15th, the court locked him up after he pleaded guilty to attempted robbery. Earlier this year, right around New Year's Day, Morrison launched a GoFundMe campaign called to help to bury me, begging for cash to cover his funeral. Since doctors said his time was short, but weeks later, he broke into the elderly woman's place, tied her up, and demanded her money. The victim, Mary Morgan, thought she was done for that day. She's lived in her home since 1976. Always felt safe there, but now nightmares keep her up, her health's tanked, and she won't even. Step outside to help neighbors with bins anymore. The hairdresser who showed up scared him off, but not before he locked both women inside. Turns out Morrison had already prepaid his own funeral back in August 2024, so his lawyer

story about sparing his family didn't hold. Up, the judge called his motives straight up, selfish, no altruism in sight, and said it was baffling a dying man would prey on the frail like that. With his health fading fast, he's probably looking at spending his final days behind bars, a harsh end to a twisted turn of events that shook too, bonerable lives.
