1958...Hospital Theft Suspect Claims "Good Heart"

You say tomato; I say bad guy.

A robbery suspect in Toronto claims he has a "good heart"; unlike the hospitalized dying elderly woman from whom he stole $7,000 worth of jewelry.

CBC in Toronto reports those words coming from the mouth of Isaac Lewkowitz. He was arrested Wednesday night and charged with theft, conspiracy and drug possession. He is also charged with failure to comply with the terms of his probation.

The crime?

He is alleged to have made his way to the palliative care unit of Toronto's East General Hospital on Tuesday evening along with 26-year-old Marcos Marinoni and stole approximately $7,000 worth of jewelry from the bedside of an elderly woman who was lying unconscious in her hospital bed. The woman died a short time later.

Mr. Marinoni is at large and Mr. Lewkowitz and his good heart are being held in jail for the time being.
