Murderer William Danielson sentenced in County Court

NORWICH – William H. Danielson, 49, of Oxford who was previously convicted of the 2013 murder of his ex, Lucinda Knoll, was back in Chenango County Court to conclude the matter and be sentenced.

Danielson has been incarcerated since the attack occurred in 2013.

On Oct. 1, 2015, the jury trial for Danielson was set to begin. Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. presided over the matter, while District Attorney Joseph A. McBride was present on behalf of the people.

“I forgive you for what you have done, not for your soul but for mine,” said Sheila Strobel, mother of the victim, in court last Friday.

Danielson was originally indicted by the Chenango County grand jury in January of 2014 on the following charges: two counts of murder in the second degree, a class A-1 felony; robbery in the first degree, a class B felony; and assault in the second degree, a class D felony.

Prior to opening statements that morning, Oct. 1, Danielson alerted his attorney and the court that he wished to accept the plea offer rather than proceed to trial.
