You can see from the video the guy just "knew" where to go.

I hope they still check out whether there was a connection to her aide who was apparently with her when this happened. I read an early story where the aide said she couldn't legally hold the woman's money for her or something to that effect. I don't know if that's true, I doubt it, and where was she in the store when they guy was going for the money?
The fact that he was in the bank with her doesn't eliminate the aide as being in on it. Maybe she wasn't but theft by home health aides making minimum wage (or less) isn't rare.

May not be legally true, but a rule from the agency who employs the nursing assistant/home help aide.
Think about the potential for liability if a person claims an aide was given funds or property and they say otherwise. That and or the stuff is lost or stolen. As things stand many who have home help aides report being "robbed blind" with stuff going missing from their homes.
Remember often home help aides are alone in homes with persons who are elderly and or very ill. So easy for things to go walk about under those conditions.
Though giving them work can compete with honest labor and is good for the working public.
It maybe better to just severely punish him. Flogging is painful, over in a day, and he won't want to be back there (get a martial artist to do it).
Though it is probably true that this man doesn't have a job as working people are a lot less likely to steal.
You never in your life would get flogging and or other physical punishments to fly in courts. OTOH hard labor is another matter.
Prison has become too soft for many today. It is like a second home away from home, and often better than where they came. Three hots and a cot (with freshly cleaned sheets), gym, television, computers, etc...
Purpose of prison once was to be a place you avoided going at all costs. Now it seems to be an occupational hazard/cost of doing business for far too many.
Apparently Broyoan Lopez (aka the Perp) has an account at the same bank as the old lady, and was making a transaction about the same time. Thus he must have peeped the old lady withdraw her monthly check and where the cash was "hidden". The rest is pretty obvious; he followed the woman and her care taker then waited to make that move.
It was bank employees from said branch who recognized Mr. Lopez from media coverage and tipped off NYPD.
Attorney for Mr. Lopez have told the court their client "isn't well (no *S* Sherlock, brilliant understatement about a guy who goes around jacking 90 year old women), and requested he be placed under suicide watch.
