A Brooklyn federal judge made sure that a schizophrenic Queens man who killed his grandmother won’t get a dime from the retirement savings she earned as a secretary for a white-shoe law firm, according to court papers filed Monday.
Attorneys from high-powered firm Skadden Arps successfully blocked Clarence Jackson from receiving any money from the estate of Rosemarie Little, a former secretary at the firm.
Jackson suffocated Little in their Queens home in 2011 after they argued about his pot smoking. He then stashed her body in the basement before finally admitting that he killed her.
Little, who cared for Jackson since his youth, had allotted 25 percent of her 401(k) retirement account to him — but outraged Skadden lawyers stepped in to prevent the payout.
Attorneys argued that the mentally ill grandson, who is serving a 15-year prison term for manslaughter, had no right to the money and that it should go entirely to her son.
Judge Dora Irizarry granted their request and officially ruled that Jackson wouldn’t receive a dime, according to a court filing.
Little was working for Skadden at the time of her brutal killing and her retirement plan was administered through the company.
