Lakeville man who scammed elderly person with dementia out of $1.6 million sentenced to 4 years
KARE 11
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Joseph Robinson reconnected with his much older former neighbor Edward Solstad, in the early stages of dementia, with a pitch to renovate his Minneapolis home.
And after that, the 85-year-old man's sister says Robinson turned him against his family.
"Edward referred to me as his evil sister. And that just hurt so much because we were so close. And I think worse than the money he stole, the fact he stole my brother is the worst part," Mary Solstad said.
