Sentencing in Knife Attack on New York State Trooper

The 18-year-old man who pleaded guilty in the violent knife assault on New York State Trooper Rodney Smith was sentenced today to 30 years in prison. Eric L. Green pleaded guilty last month to second-degree attempted murder and first-degree robbery. PBA members were in attendance to support Trooper Smith at the sentencing of his attacker.
