Stubbs was found guilty of attempted murder in the first degree for commanding another man to kill a Newburgh woman. The crime happened 13 years ago.

“Thirteen years ago, this defendant tried to kill a woman and escape detection by commanding someone else to kill her,” District Attorney David M. Hoovler stated. “That cowardly attempt was unsuccessful and the unflagging efforts of the police officers and prosecutors in this case enabled jurors to reach a just verdict.

On October 2, 2011, Stubbs attempted to cause the death of the mother of one of his children while she was in her home on Washington Street in the City of Newburgh, by having another man enter her home to kill her, officials say.
