Final of four in gang assault sentenced

NORWICH – A man who pleaded guilty to assault charges was sentenced to a year in jail on Monday after he and three others assaulted a victim, leaving the victim semi-unconscious beneath a car with a fractured eye socket and some of his teeth knocked out.

Hunter J. Speenburgh, 19, pleaded guilty to second-degree assault on March 20, and he was sentenced to a year in jail on Monday after the victim advocated that he only receive probation.

The victim was in the courtroom at the time of Speenburgh’s sentencing, but District Attorney Michael Ferrarese spoke on the victim’s behalf.

“The victim is here today with his family,” said Ferrarese. “They really wanted this defendant to be placed on probation, but he has opted for the year in jail instead.”

He said Speenburgh had accepted responsibility for his actions by accepting the plea, and he added that hopefully Speenburgh takes that time in jail to reflect on his actions.

“He’s going to be punished, he’ll spend the next year in jail,” said Ferrarese. “You’re a young man, I hope that while you’re in jail you contemplate the mistakes you’ve made.”

Chenango County Court Judge Frank Revoir Jr., said Speenburgh is the last of four defendants to be sentenced in this case, and each defendant is expected to pay restitution to the victim for the medical bills.

Revoir said the restitution was set at $236.25 per defendant, and an order of protection was granted for the victim for the longest time the court can set – eight years.

He added that Speenburg has other charges open in Delaware County.
