A woman has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for viciously beating an elderly man with a brick in an unprovoked attack. Los Angeles woman Laquisha Jones, 30, was sentenced on Thursday following her no contest plea to elder abuse in December. A witness recorded video footage of Rodolfo Rodriguez, 91, as he sat dazed, his face bloodied, after being beaten. The witness, Misbel Borjas, also took a photo of a woman with a brick in her hand with her child beside her as she yelled out. Laquisha Jones, 30, is seen wielding a brick during the savage July Fourth attack. She received 15 years in prison on Thursday after entering a no contest plea to elder abuse in December Rodriguez (pictured above in hospital) is a legal US resident and 91-year-old grandfather who was attacked with a brick by Laquisha Jones on July 4 Jones is due back in court on April 11 for a restitution hearing. Prosecutors said she severely beat Rodriguez in the face with a brick on July 4 as the man was taking a walk. They say Rodriguez, a Mexican national, did nothing to provoke the attack. He was hospitalized after sustaining a shattered jaw, several broken ribs and other injuries. As part of the negotiated plea deal in December, a charge of attempted murder was dropped, according to Deputy District Attorney Frank Dunnick. Jones also admitted to a special allegation that she used a dangerous weapon in the crime, and that she had a prior conviction for making criminal threats in 2017, the district attorney's office said. Although a witness claimed that Jones had screamed 'go back to your country' while attacking Rodriguez, prosecutors did not pursue hate crime charges. A GoFundMe account set up for the victim that hoped to raise $15,000 to pay for some of his medical expenses raised nearly $330,000. Rodriguez, who now lives in Willowbrook, spoke to KCAL9 after Jones' sentencing and said that he was 'good and happy thanks to God.' He said he understood the law but he believed his attacker should have only gotten two to three years for her crime. A woman in the area caught the terrifying incident on cell phone video and said four men joined the mom in beating the grandfather Rodriguez, who has recovered from his injuries, denied that he had bumped into the girl and said that he believed Jones should have gotten two to three years for her crime Speaking in Spanish, Rodriguez, who is a legal US resident, said: 'Everyone makes mistakes, and we have to forgive each other because God forgives us.' However his daughter Aurelia said she hoped the tough sentence served as a deterrent to those who would harm an elderly person. Investigators said that the attack was prompted by Jones' belief that Rodriquez had bumped into her daughter while walking down the sidewalk. Rodriguez, who is now 92 and recovered from his injuries, denied that he had bumped into the girl. The vicious attack unfolded at around 8pm on the Fourth of July in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Willowbrook. Witnesses said Jones exploded in fury, shoving Rodriguez to the ground, picking up a brick and hitting him in the face with it. A woman in the area caught the terrifying incident on cell phone video and said four men joined the mom in beating the grandfather. Misbel Borjas told the Sacramento Bee that the mother told Rodriguez: 'Go back to your country, why are you here?' 'When I tried to videotape her with my cell phone,' Borjas said of the woman pictured holding the brick, 'she threw that same concrete block, tried to hit my car.' Rodolfo Rodriguez thanks well-wishers for their help, as he talks to the media gathered outside his home in Los Angeles on July 11 Rodriguez is seen above aided by his daughter, Aurelia, outside his home in Los Angeles Misbel Borjas (right) had witnessed and recorded the vicious attack against Rodriguez The eyewitness said she called the police and asked the mother why she attacked the man, and was told by the mother that Rodriguez had tried to touch her daughter. The woman who witnessed the attack said that was a lie. His family said Rodriguez suffered a broken jaw, broken cheekbones, two broken ribs and bruises on his face, back and abdomen. In December Rodriquez told reporters that he doesn't know why he was attacked and is grateful for the outpouring of community support and well wishes he's received. 'I'm just a poor old man; I don't deserve it,' he told reporters outside his home. As for Jones, he claimed she was in the right hands. He said in Spanish: 'I'm not qualified to say she deserves five years or 10 years - that's not going to heal anything or heal me. 'What's going to heal me is Jesus Christ. They'll give her the punishment she deserves.' All rights reserved for this news site dailymail and under his responsibility
