SALEM – A Lynn woman who admitted stabbing another woman five times in 2008 was sentenced to a year in jail.Linda Sang, 19, of 186 Williams Ave., made her plea Monday afternoon to Judge David A. Lowy in Salem Superior Court, confessing to five counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the 2008 assault on a 17-year-old girl near the corner of Market and Liberty streets.She was handed a split sentence of 30-months in House of Corrections, with all but a year suspended, and placed on five years of probation at which time she will undergo mental health treatment and counseling as deemed necessary, refrain from all drug, alcohol and marijuana use, consent to random screenings, be employed or have five job applications on file, ordered to get her General Equivalency Degree (GED,) and must report weekly to probation.Lowy?s sentence means Sang will be eligible for parole in six months.On Oct. 17 around 9:30 p.m. at the MBTA parking garage, Sang slashed Genesis Sabater of Lynn during a verbal confrontation.Sabater was struck five times in the hip, legs, thigh and buttocks.The girls had been embroiled in an ongoing dispute and had arranged to meet that night at the Central Square parking garage to settle their disagreement.But the verbal dispute escalated and turned physical, resulting in Sang pulling out a knife and attacking Sabater.Sabater was left bleeding on the sidewalk as Sang fled from the scene with her friends.Sabater?s friends took her to a local hospital for treatment. While en route they flagged down a police officer on Market Street to report the incident.Sabater?s injuries were non-life threatening.Sang was arrested at her home the following day.The weapon used during the incident was never recovered.The sentence imposed was less than Assistant District Attorney Christina P. Ronan proposed.Ronan urged the court to impose at least three years in state prison, rather than at the House of Corrections, pointing out the nature and circumstances of the case and the injuries to the victim.Sabater, who is now 18, chose not to be present for the hearing.Defense lawyer Amanda L. Barker pleaded for leniency asking for probation. She presented several family support letters to the court, while emphasizing that Sang?s actions that day were totally out of character.She also told Lowy that her client is several months pregnant and has mental health issues.Sang was indicted by an Essex County grand jury in February 2009. She has been free on $5,000 cash bail, but restricted to a curfew and has been wearing a GPS tracking device. The judge credited her 25-days she spent in jail in lieu of bail.
