Jack Rhodes, 47, was convicted of multiple charges of first-degree burglary, first- and second-degree robbery and second-degree assault because of three attacks that took place in Queens between December 2006 and March 2007.
He faces between 39 to 90 years in prison.
The jury said that the attacks were hate crimes because two of Rhodes's three victims were chosen due to their advanced age.
Rose Morat, who was 101 years old at the time of the attack, was punched by Rhodes in her building's entryway and robbed of $33.
Later that same day, Rhodes attacked Solange Elizee, who was 85 years at the time, and robbed her of $32 and two rings. Elizee was treated for cuts and bruises to her face, arms and buttocks.
The third victim, Angela Khan, was 51 years old at the time that Rhodes punched, kicked and robbed her of cash and other personal items.
