Overview

• Luz Pineda, 32, admitted to sufficient facts in Roxbury Municipal Court, and the case was continued without a finding for two years.
• Court conditions include a system-wide MBTA ban, three months of GPS-monitored home confinement limited to medical appointments, anger management, mental-health treatment, and no contact with the victim.
• Prosecutors say the 63-year-old victim suffered a concussion, a facial laceration, and ruptured or broken blood vessels and reported no memory of the assault.
• Surveillance and bystander videos shared on social media, along with public tips, helped Transit Police and prosecutors identify Pineda following the Sept. 8 incident on Route 28 in Roxbury.
• Coverage differs on the legal terminology, with some reports describing a guilty plea, while prosecutors had sought a suspended 60-day sentence with some jail time and community service before the judge accepted the current terms.
