California Caretaker Gets 8 Years In Theft Of Elderly Couple's Home

KGTV Channel 10 in San Diego reports that Gina Trevino, who pleaded guilty in February to bilking an elderly, vision-impaired couple out of their Encinitas, California home (worth over $500,000) while serving as their caretaker, was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison. Reportedly, Trevino also stole the victims' identity and bought two cars. Her husband, Robert Holman, allegedly participated in the scheme and has a court hearing scheduled next week and a trial set for June 5. He faces four years if convicted. The victims' daughter says civil court proceedings are still pending in an attempt to get back the title to her parents' home. For more, see Woman Sentenced For Stealing From Elderly Couple.
