HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man convicted in a stabbing case from last year was scheduled to be sentenced Friday, but that has been pushed back to next Tuesday with a special setting.
Jordon LeShore was found guilty of two counts of aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and aggravated burglary. This involved the attack on Jeffrey Payne.
LeShore is one of the men who went to Payne’s home back on February 18, 2013 and beat and stabbed him almost to death. He had been beaten, then stabbed 23-times in the attack.
LeShore is already serving a sentence for two separate cases from 2009 and 2010. The 2009 case includes two convictions for aggravated burglary and in 2010, he was convicted of obstructing the legal process. He has been serving his sentence at the Norton Correctional Facility,
His brother Joseph LeShore was sentenced recently to 8-years, 3-months after he entered pleas in the case. Troy Bell was sentenced to 55-months in prison for the same crimes.
31-year-old John Cantu entered a plea to conspiracy to commit aggravated battery in front of Judge Tim Chambers and is scheduled to be sentenced on June 27. Desmund Cantu is serving 7-years in prison for his part in this case.
The only one left with his case pending is Sean Arevalo-Mendoza, who is believed to have played a minor role in the attack.
The sentencing of Jordon LeShore will be in front of Judge Tim Chambers.
