Prison Guard Strike Update

Officials say that about 1200 striking corrections officers across the state, went back to work on Monday.  WHEC reports that the about 2,000 striking prison guards, have been fired.  And State Senator George Borrello says, though the deal presented to prison guards over the weekend was not the best, that deal, combined with pressure from the governor, was enough to get those who did return to work, back on the job.

 

Allegany County Homicide Suspect Has Been Sentenced

Steuben County District Attorney Brooks Baker has spent a lot of time over the past six in Allegany County Court on the Billy Larson Jr case.  That's because, when the case began, Allegany County did not have a district attorney.  In 2019, Larson was accused of stabbing to death and shooting his own parents in the Allegany County Town of Clarksville, then burning their bodies.  Baker has been working on the case, since a District Attorney died several years ago in Allegany County.  And Billy Larson jr who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to decades in state prison, in Allegany Court yesterday.    Larson was sentenced to 20 years to life, by the judge, Allegany County Court Judge Terry Parker.
