Sister testifies to save brother in $174,000 fraud case
LOS ANGELES. Joseph Gentile faced prison unless the sister he bilked testified for him. Mrs. Josephine Magee, confined and nearly blind, said she had no funds and little means. Gentile, 43, was found guilty on six counts of grand theft for borrowing most of her settlement from a 1963 bus accident suit. He claimed he would repay out of a lease sale for a service station concession and a car wash. Judge Mark Brandler called his conduct callous and deceptive but allowed a chance of restitution. Gentile received 10 years probation with a one-year county jail sentence and a possible return to prison if restitution is not made.
