A Brooklyn woman helped lure a drunken doctor to the top of a Brooklyn building, where, prosecutors say, he was robbed by two of her pals who pepper-sprayed him in the eyes, leading to his fatal plunge from the roof.
Glennys Reyes admitted she was drunk on Hennessy cognac and flirted with Robert Reichl, 50, so that she, Keston Jones and Ruben Santiago could rob him atop he four-story Sunset Park apartment building.
The second-degree murder and robbery trial of Santiago and Jones began Monday in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
“I’m hugging [Robert]. I put my hands in his pocket and [take] the money,” Reyes, 24, tearfully said on the witness stand, as prosecutors played surveillance video taken the night of July 17, 2013.
Later, when Jones’ attorney Howard Greenberg asked why she was crying, Reyes sniffed, “I don’t feel OK about what I did. I don’t feel good about what happened to Rob.”
After Reyes swiped the cash, the group fled, leaving Reichl, a former internist, staggering alone in the dark.
A few minutes later, however, Jones and Santiago allegedly returned to the roof. Santiago blasted Reichl with pepper spray and snatched his iPhone before he and Jones fled a second time, prosecutors say.
Two hours later, just before 11 p.m., Reichl fell to his death.
