[00:00:00]An Albuquerque man learned his fate in court after an altercation with his neighbor turned deadly. Last summer, police responded to reports of a fight in progress near 7th Street and Bellamah Avenue. A witness told police they saw Clay Sanchez and Andrew Mazeda fighting, during which Mazeda was stabbed with a knife. He died at the scene a short time later. Sanchez was charged with first-degree murder, but later pled guilty to the lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter. Judge David Murphy sentenced him to 18 months behind bars.
