Judge Penny Moreland
But Raine was jailed for two years yesterday at Newcastle Crown Court after admitting three charges of theft and three of fraud relating to a total of £13,211.97 she took from the elderly victims.
Sentencing the carer, Judge Penny Moreland told her: "The people that you were supposed to be looking after are among the most vulnerable in our society, elderly, demented, dying.
"It is hard to image the callousness with which you stole from them.
"You breached a high degree of trust and responsibility.
"These were people incapable of looking after themselves, entrusted to you and you stole from them."
