Despicable
A "despicable, disgraceful, and downright cowardly" dad who stole more than £16,000 from his vulnerable aunt who suffered from dementia to find his drug addiction has been jailed.
She was later informed by solicitors that Fitzsimons had been receiving large amounts of money from Mrs Wright's account. Some 34 cheques worth between £100 and £550 were cashed by Fitzsimons in a ten month period. A further two cheques worth about £1,000 were also submitted, but denied by the bank. "She was a fiercely independent lady who stayed living in her home until the last few days of her life. She was also a very generous lady with her time and money. The revelance of this is that if Patrick needed money, he only needed to ask and she would probably have lent him the money. However, he chose to defraud her and steal her money instead.
He said: "These are despicable crimes. There's no mitigation in these offences and I know the defendant is not just remorseful but disgusted and ashamed of himself what what he did to his elderly aunt. Judge Ian Harris said: "You are Brenda's nephew. She was elderly, in her 90s, and suffering from dementia.
