SCHENECTADY — Medina Knowles’ killer received another five years in prison this week after his conviction in a jail assault, prosecutors said.
Raekwon Stover, 19, stood trial in October on one count of second-degree assault for attacking another inmate at the Schenectady County jail in March.
The jury found Stover attacked the inmate from behind and punched him, causing facial fractures, bruising and a cut that required stitches to close.
Stover received the sentence from Judge Louise K. Sira. His sentence is to run consecutively to the more-than- 26 years-to-life sentence Stover is already serving in Knowles’ killing.
Stover received that sentence in August after a jury convicted him in the Sept. 15, 2016, murder on Schenectady Street. Knowles was 17 and the mother of a young son.
