A Levittown man who repeatedly stabbed a Lower Makefield Township man during an altercation two years ago was sentenced to 3 ½ to 7 years in state prison on Friday, September 24, 2021.
Zachary Ganie, 26, pleaded guilty on June 1 to aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime and reckless endangering another person and no contest to two counts of simple assault.
In addition to the state prison sentence, Common Pleas Judge Diane E. Gibbons also sentenced Ganie to a concurrent 10-year probation sentence and ordered him to pay restitution and undergo mental health, drug and alcohol and anger management treatments.
Victim impact statements were submitted by three people, including the victim who said the "physical effects have been devastating, but the psychological and emotional trauma has been even worse."
