(April 12, 2008)—Jurors in Tarrant County jury have sentenced an Azle woman to five years in prison for stealing a mentally impaired man's life savings.
They also levied a $10,000 fine against 46-year-old Cynthia Sue Hardee and then donated the $166 they were to receive collectively for their jury service to the 58-year-old victim, Johnny Bryant of Fort Worth.
Prosecutor Joe Shannon says he donated another $250 to the fund.
Witnesses testified that Bryant, who cannot read or do math, had amassed $151,000 in a profit-sharing account in more than 30 years of shelf stocking at Fort Worth-area supermarkets.
When a supermarket where he was working was sold, Bryant withdrew his retirement money.
Hardee helped him open a checking account, saying the two would go into business together, but the enterprise never panned out.
