WICHITA, Kan. — A Wichita man has been sentenced to more than 3 1/2 years in prison for a parking lot punch that killed a man.
KSNW-TV reports that a Sedgwick County judge on Wednesday also ordered 38-year-old Steven Speakman to spend an additional two years under supervision after his release from prison, and to pay more than $17,000 in restitution. Speakman was originally charged with second-degree murder in the death of Haley Collins, but was found guilty in August of involuntary manslaughter. The two men were arguing on a store parking lot in 2019.
Witnesses told police they saw Collins push Speakman, then saw Speakman punch Collins, causing him to fall and hit his head.
