A Los Angeles Superior Court sentenced 77-year-old Helen Golay and 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt to two consecutive life terms each in the 1999 death of Paul Vados, 73, and the 2005 death of Kenneth McDavid, 50.

The women were convicted of a scheme in which they befriended homeless men, took out multiple life insurance policies on them, murdered them and staged it to look like hit-and-run auto accident.

Prosecutors say the women collected $2.8 million before the scheme was uncovered.

During the trial, the jury watched a videotape of the two women while in jail after their arrests in which Rutterschmidt scolded Golay for getting too greedy.

"It's your fault," Rutterschmidt told Golay on the video. "You can't have that many insurances. ... You were greedy. That's the problem."

No Olga, killing two guys for cash was the problemo ......  you should have stuck to the gardening and needle point.
