BUFFALO, NY - A Buffalo man is heading to prison for a long stretch for the stabbing death of his former girlfriend's boyfriend.

State Supreme Court Justice William Boller sentenced Hillard Smith, 47, to 27 and 2/3 to 33 years behind bars Friday.

A jury convicted him of manslaughter, menacing and other charges.

Back in April, 2017, Smith broke into his former girlfriend's home on North Division St. and attacked 42-year-old Justin Johnson of Buffalo with a knife. Johnson died of his injuries five days later.
