SAN ANTONIO – A woman convicted Friday of stabbing a relative was sentenced Monday to 35 years in prison.
A judge sentenced Nicole Smertneck, 30, after hearing from the 77-year-old victim's family Friday.
Relatives said they lived in fear since the 2012 attack.
Smertneck, a relative of Ponce, had been living temporarily with the victim and his family. She claimed he had made sexual advances toward her.
