A former inmate of the State Correctional Institution at Smithfield in Huntingdon County has failed to convince the Pennsylvania Superior Court that he found newly-discovered, exculpatory evidence in his case, which involved the aggravated assault of corrections officers during a 2013 melee at the prison.
Huntingdon County Common Pleas Court Judge George N. Zanic sentenced Ronald Terell Stockton, now 33, to an additional 27 to 100 months behind bars after the inmate was found guilty of aggravated assault of the officers.
Stockton was originally sentenced to a prison term of 10 to 20 years for robberies that occurred in Philadelphia County.
His Huntingdon County sentence is to be served consecutive to the Philadelphia County sentence.
