On Wednesday, Jose Perez-Gonzalez, 31, was sentenced to 11 years and eight months in San Mateo County Superior Court for a brutal attack on a 78-year-old widow which left the woman blind.

In December, the illegal alien was convicted of attempted robbery, residential burglary, mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and possession of stolen property.

On January 12, 2008, Perez-Gonzalez, who was living in San Francisco, broke into the victim’s home through a rear patio door. When confronted by the woman, he beat her repeatedly in the face with a metal pry bar. The beating was so severe, that the woman was permanently blinded.

When Perez-Gonzalez pried-open the back door, he set-off a silent alarm, alerting police. By the time they arrived, the woman was near death, and her attacker had already fled the scene.

The woman now lives in a nursing home.

Police were able to trace the illegal alien back to his hometown of Guadalajara, and Mexican police arrested him in November 2008.

In December, Parsons convicted Perez-Gonzalez of attempted robbery, residential burglary, mayhem, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and possession of stolen property.
