MEDINA – Two people have been sentenced to state prison for their roles in a stabbing in Medina’s Canal Basin on Nov. 1.
Edward Gibson, 43, and Deon Jackson, 25, both of Medina, were charged with first-degree assault.
Gibson used a knife to cut a woman’s throat and stab a man. But were treated at Erie County Medical Center for their injuries.
Gibson was sentenced to 12 years in state prison last week by Orleans County Court Judge Sanford Church.
Deon Jackson was the accomplice in the crime, and helped lure the two to the basin where they were attacked, the district attorney’s office said.
Jackson was sentenced to 7 years in state prison by Judge Church in court this morning.
Jackson also faces a new charge since he was being held in the county jail. He was charged with aggravated harassment of employees by an inmate. He allegedly through feces and urine at corrections officers. Jackson could face an additional 2 ½ to 5 years in state prison for that charge.
