Coram Man Pleads Guilty to Fatal Stabbing

A Coram man has admitted stabbing a 32-year-old man to death  nearly two years ago.

Darrell Scott pleaded guilty Tuesday at Suffolk County court to first-degree manslaughter.

Prosecutors said the 26-year-old man fatally stabbed Chauncey Scott, 32, also of Coram, on Aug. 27, 2011. The two men are not related.

The stabbing occurred during an altercation on the corner of Baldwin Lane and Pinegrove Avenue in Gordon Heights.

Scott will be sentenced by Judge Braslow Stephen on March 7.
