Local Teen Sentenced In Stabbing Death

A Columbus teen who pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter earlier this month was sentenced Thursday to ten years in adult prison for a fatal stabbing.18-year-old Katherine Figueroa-DeJesus stabbed 19-year-old Ganae Pleasant during a fight at an East Side home last fall. She was 17 at the time, but a judge in January moved the case to adult court after police said she confessed.  

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
