Two receive reduced sentences in bar fight killing - San Jose Mercury News: "Two men behind bars for their role in a fatal stabbing during a bar fight in Stockton will be serving less time in prison.
Frank Prater and Robert Memory both agreed to plead guilty to lesser charges Friday in connection with the stabbing in 2004.
The Stockton Record reports after previously being sentenced to 16 years to life for second-degree murder, the 41-year-old Prater will spend a little more than five years in prison for voluntary manslaughter.
The 36-year-old Memory had been serving nine years for attempted voluntary manslaughter, but he will be released in less than a year on a lesser charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
The deal came after the 3rd District Court of Appeal overturned their convictions."
