To all of the disreputable criminals out there: your practice of preying on senior citizens just got a bit tougher.
The New York State Senate last week passed a bill that would subject anyone convicted of harming a senior citizen with increased jail time.
The bill, which is currently being mulled over by the Assembly, would turn any assault against a senior citizen over the age of 70 into a class D or E felony, which carries a penalty of seven years of prison time.
