| Anthony Cresser, convicted. / Rensselaer County mugshot |
Local TV stations tonight carried an update on the court case of the man accused of stabbing our neighbor Trent Cox and two others back in September.
Anthony Cresser, 25, pled guilty to two counts of attempted first degree murder. He will be sentenced on February 28. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
As Trent tells us, “ 'Attempted' would not have been appropriate had he been successful. Betsy and I will be in the Rensselaer County Courthouse that day."
State Troopers had responded to the Sugar Hill Apartment Complex at 400 McChesney Avenue for a report of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they located three victims suffering from stab wounds.
“The defendant lured the neighbors outside and committed a stabbing in an attempt to steal their vehicle,” said District Attorney Mary Pat Donnelly. “Thankfully, there were witnesses who immediately called 911. Thank you to the New York State Police, who arrived quickly and arrested Cresser at the scene.”
