SCHENECTADY – Alma Hurwitz’s family tried to keep her safe. They even tried to get the 94-year-old an aide, daughter Robin Inwald recalled in Schenectady County Court Tuesday.
But Hurwitz, a trained scientist, was fiercely independent. She even continued to handle her own finances, something she enjoyed doing. That was, Inwald said in court, “until you came along.”
Inwald spoke of Craig Kearsing, the now-admitted scam artist who preyed on at least three elderly victims in Schenectady and Niskayuna in 2019 for thousands of dollars in bogus home work.
