How about a better description than just ‘age’?
your talking about a description given by an 83 year old woman. How detailed could it really be??
Well #2, for starters how about ethnicity?
Unless it was Helen Keller that got mugged I’d expect at least that.
Of course if it was in the Record, when race is omitted, its a given who the perp was.
I thought that happened only from thieves riding Vespas in Italy.
Speaking of ethnicity and Vespas, what ever happened to Rica’s $69,000 payment at his sentencing on June 6th ? If it had been a black man from Paterson who stole $500K in quarters from Ridgewood, you can be sure the Bergen Prosecutor would have thrown him in jail for years… not so for a favored son.
