Gerald Cooper, 84, a Cleveland attorney for 57 years, was recently given a one day jail sentence for stealing $115,000 from his client’s estate. Cooper spent the money on mortgage payments, sports tickets and credit bills. Cooper, who is twice widowed and has 10 children, is also suffering from prostate cancer and showing signs of early dementia. He cited mental and financial stressors as a factor in his decision to steal the money.

The Cuyahoga County Common pleas judge asked the U.S District Judge to give Cooper a minimum sentence as Cooper is a “gentlemen.” The Assistant U.S Attorney also recommended that Cooper be given a lighter sentence due to his age and health. Cooper originally faced a 15-to-21 month prison sentence but it was decreased to a one-day jail sentence with six months home confinement, two years supervised release and a $1,000 fine.
