Apparently angry about being awakened by a noisy Arizona State University student, bankruptcy attorney and former prosecutor Daniel Gukeisen got into an argument with Garrett Hohn that escalated into a fight.

Hohn later died of a stab wound and Gukeisen, who is now 39, was convicted of manslaughter. He was sentenced today to five years by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Cari Harrison, reports the Arizona Republic.
