Maine inmate pleads guilty to stabbing fellow prisoner 87 times

Maine State Prison inmate Richard Stahursky pleaded guilty to murder in the stabbing death of a fellow prisoner, as a jury was being selected Monday for his upcoming trial. Stahursky, also known as Richard Clements, 35, admitted to stabbing Micah Boland 87 times with a homemade knife in February 2014. After the attack, Stahursky appeared before a corrections officer holding the weapon he used in his bloody hands, and told her he needed to be handcuffed, according to an affidavit filed in Knox County Superior Court. Boland, 37, was a convicted sex offender serving 22 years for gross sexual assault against a 4-year-old victim. Stahursky had appeared in January before Justice Daniel Billings with his attorney, Philip Cohen, to plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
