Judge adds to sentence of woman convicted of elder abuse

A Gwinnett County judge had the same question as everyone else when sentencing a woman convicted of abusing a disabled patient in her care.

Judge Tom Davis wanted to know why Lisa Williams punched, kicked and tried to use a dementia patient’s shirt to strangle her back in April.

“Didn’t she have enough going on without you adding to her burdens?” Davis asked in court, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Williams was caught when the patient’s son hid a camera and recorded the attacks. 

In the video, Williams grabs the disabled woman by neck, pulls her forward and back and lets her drop to the floor.

She screams something in the woman’s face, turns toward the door for a few moments, and leaves.

The disabled woman sobs on the floor.
