Back the Blue Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Quote A Binghamton man potentially facing a lengthy prison sentence after a November 2022 stabbing incident will instead serve probation. Broome County Judge Joseph Cawley last week sentenced Joseph M. Irons, 38, to five years probation after Irons pleaded guilty to a single count of second-degree assault, a felony. Irons was originally charged with first-degree assault, which carries a minimum prison term of five years and a maximum of 25 years, in connection with a Nov. 10 incident on Lydia Street in Binghamton. City police officers responded to the area around 22 Lydia St. for a man with multiple stab wounds to his head and neck. Irons surrendered and was taken into custody after a two-hour standoff with police at his residence. Under state law, Irons could have been sentenced to prison time for the second-degree assault conviction. https://www.pressconnects.com/story/news/local/2023/02/20/binghamton-man-gets-probation-after-guilty-plea-for-lydia-st-stabbing/69923052007/ Another horrible job by DA Michael Korchak.
