A 33-year-old Marshall man charged with killing a Slater resident more than two years ago was ordered today to spend 20 years in prison.
Adam McAlister was originally charged with a Class A Felony for Second-Degree Murder and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action in the death of 31-year-old Lance Gibson on March 9, 2018.
During a court proceeding Thursday morning McAllister entered a plea of guilty to a Class B Felony of Voluntary Manslaughter and the original Unclassified Felony of Armed Criminal Action.
McAlister was ordered to serve 15-years on Count I of Voluntary Manslaughter and five-years for Count II of the Unclassified Felony of Armed Criminal Action. The sentences are to run consecutively.
