A Man Faces a 12 Year Prison Sentence for Stabbing His Roommate
At his first appearance in court last year after he had repeatedly stabbed one of his roommates, Mathew Webb emphatically said he wanted time behind bars. On Tuesday, after telling Webb that with mental health treatment he has something to offer the world, a judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison.
Webb, 20, of Milton, only said at his sentencing hearing before Dane County Circuit Judge Ellen Berz that what he did was wrong and he is willing to accept what he is given.
Webb stabbed his then-roommate nine times and left him with a broken collarbone and broken shoulder on Nov. 10 after attacking him during a dispute about furniture placement in the rural Edgerton house where they lived. He soon turned up at Mercy Hospital in Janesville, wanting to turn himself in to Janesville police.
