Rochester Man Gets 40-Year Sentence | Rochester News

A Rochester man, Stephan Jefferson, just received a 40-year prison sentence for fatally shooting Dwayne Hall, Junior, during a heated argument on Genesee Street last July. Jefferson admitted to first-degree manslaughter and illegal weapon possession, facing 25 years for the killing plus 15 more for the gun charge — with five years of supervised release after his initial term.
