HUTCHINSON -A Hutchinson Correctional Facility inmate facing trial for attempted capital murder waived his jury trial, then entered a plea as charged and was sentenced all during the same hearing on Thursday.

Forty-three-year-old Corey Jeffery entered a plea for the September 2014 stabbing of a correction’s office.

The officer, Tim Russell, who was working in the C-2 cell house at the central unit, received multiple stab wounds and was transported to the Hutchinson Regional Medical Center by EMS for treatment.

Russell had testified at the preliminary hearing that he had met with Jeffery before the incident and Jeffery was upset because of issues over his toilet.

Russell apparently went about his business, but then later called to get someone to come look at his toilet.

About an hour later, he says he was letting inmates out of their cell so they could visit the canteen and that’s when the attack occurred.

He told the court that he was stabbed at least 13 times.

Jeffrey was sentenced to life in prison and won’t be eligible for parole for over 54-years.

This sentence runs consecutive to his current sentence, which is also life, according to Judge Trish Rose.
