Another sentenced in connection with October stabbing
Newton resident Courtney Patricia Hummel was sentenced late last week to spend a year in jail after pleading guilty to an aggravated misdemeanor charge in connection with an incident that resulted in the stabbing death of a local teenager.
Judge Thomas W. Mott ordered 18-year-old Hummel to pay a $625 fine in addition to being incarcerated for a year. She was charged with accessory after the fact in June and pleaded guilty in July after forming a plea agreement with Jasper County Attorney’s Office.
Hummel was among three local residents charged with accessory after the fact in connection with the murder of Jerry Alden Pittman II, who was found beaten and stabbed 29 times Oct. 6, 2007, outside his parents’ residence at 714 W. Third St. S. in
