NYC homeless woman who allegedly pickpocketed dead man is freed without bail
[NYPOST] A homeless woman who allegedly pickpocketed a dead man was freed on supervised release without bail at her arraignment Friday — as sources said she tried to use the victim’s stolen cash but couldn’t because it was covered in blood.Geniece Draper, 40 — who was charged with grand and petit larcenies for the morbid crime — stayed mum in court after allegedly snatching the wallet of a man who was crushed by a truck last week. "This defendant appeared on video taking money out of a dead man’s pocket," a prosecutor said at the arraignment hearing. As she left Manhattan Criminal Court, Draper told The Post, she was snatching back cash from the dead man, who was also homeless and identified as Jerome Smith, 62. "He robbed me first," she said. "He got killed after." Draper said Smith had swiped $120 from her at an ATM, but declined to elaborate. Posted by: Fred 2022-10-15 |
