Queens man gets 26 years for stabbing pregnant ex-girlfriend

Feb. 17, 2021
A Queens man was sentenced to a little over 26 years to life in prison Thursday for savagely stabbing his pregnant ex-girlfriend to death three years ago.
[.....]
Hobson was convicted of murder in the second-degree, tampering with physical evidence and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. Queens Supreme Court Justice Michael B. Aloise sentenced him to a total 26 1/3 years-to-life behind bars.

“Today’s sentence brings the defendant to justice for a brutal crime,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement.

Hobson originally also had been charged with second-degree abortion by former Queens District Attorney Richard Brown’s office. But that charge was dropped after Albany lawmakers removed the statute from the state’s penal code as part of the Reproductive Health Act signed by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
