An Orange County man was sentenced for 18 years to life in prison for the fatal stabbing of a man he was hired to kill. Damante Stansberry, of Middletown, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. The Orange County District Attorney's Office says Enoch Lowe hired 25-year-old Stansberry to kill 53-year-old Jeffrey Harris. Lowe had a long standing dispute with Harris.
