Deadly 2014 Columbia stabber pleads to lesser charge

The long run through the legal system is wrapping up for Anthony Shegog.

He is the Columbia man who was convicted of stabbing Walter Lige to death behind a home near Hickman High School in 2014. That verdict was vacated last year though, after a judge ruled his attorneys were ineffective.

Shegog pleaded guilty on Monday to the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. He was sentenced to five years in prison, with credit for time served. He was looking at a second degree murder charge.
