View Comments
MUNCIE, Ind. A defiant Brady Allen Turner was sentenced Wednesday to 60 years in prison for fatally stabbing an acquaintance. I m here today to tell you I will maintain my innocence until the day I die, the 27-year-old Muncie man told Delaware Circuit Court 4 Judge John Feick, who imposed the prison term.
The victim suffered a fatal stab wound in the throat while fighting with Turner on East 15th Street.
While testifying at the trial, Turner maintained that he had acted in self defense, saying Burgess during earlier confrontations had threatened him and fired a gun at him.
