An update now on the sentence of 33-year-old Troy Spirk.
He´s the transient who was accused of the beating death of 50-year-old Steven Davis following an August argument in Jamestown.
Spirk will serve seven years in prison.
He reached a deal where he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, assault with a deadly weapon, receiving stolen property, and making criminal threats.
Had he gone to a jury trial, the sentence could have been 15 years to life if Spirk were convicted.
