She was sentenced to jail for one year - and rightly so. Her crime - She kept her mom's dead body for more than 6 years in her bed room and collected more than $230,000 in pension benefits.
The woman who was found guilty of theft of government funds is a 61 year old from Florida, Penelope Sharon Jordan.
It is reported that the theft of public money charge refers to Jordan collecting military pension benefits being sent to her mother for Col. Ashford Travis “A.T.” Jordan, her mother’s late husband, after her mother’s death. Ashford Jordan was a World War II veteran and city clerk for Sebastian, records show.
Jordan, an unemployed lady, was found to be very remorseful. “I was trying to ... keep a roof over my head and I take responsibility for what I did. It was wrong,” Jordan said in a low soft voice.
Whatever may be the reason behind it..... I feel keeping the dead body of her mother for ore than 6 years is something punishable.
