RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — A judge has sentenced a Box Elder man to 15 years in prison for stabbing a man to death.
Judge Matt Brown handed down 31-year-old Barry Allman’s sentence on Thursday.
Prosecutors accused Allman of stabbing 33-year-old Lance Baumgarten at a Rapid City house on Aug. 6, 2020.
They initially charged Allman with second-degree murder but he ultimately pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in a plea deal after his trial was declared a mistrial just two days in.
Brown ordered the mistrial after prosecutors failed to inform defense attorneys that some witnesses had been granted immunity.
