GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) - A Michigan man convicted of stabbing his friend to death in a North Dakota man camp has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Ryan Anderson, of Iron River, Michigan, was sentenced Thursday. A jury in August found him guilty of killing 32-year-old Christopher King, also of Iron River, in March 2013. Anderson had pleaded not guilty to murder.
Authorities say the attack was part of an alcohol-fueled dispute at a crew camp between Ray and Tioga, northeast of Williston. A defense attorney argued that Anderson had acted in self-defense.
Anderson's trial was moved to the eastern North Dakota city of Grand Forks after his attorney successfully argued he couldn't get a fair trial in Williams County because of extensive news coverage of the case.
