PEOPLE v. MATYE
Evidence was sufficient to establish abuse victim was a dependent adult within the meaning of Penal Code Sec. 368 where, though victim did not actually depend on defendant for day to day activities, facts that she had to wear a leg brace and use a cane or walker for walking and had impaired mental abilities, including memory and speech problems, established she had physical or mental limitations that "restrict" her ability to carry out normal activities or protect her rights.
