Man gets life in Playstation shooting Associated Press May 2, 2006, 12:20PM
COLUMBUS, Ga. — A 29-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to killing a friend in a dispute over how to use a PlayStation video game console.
Arthur Demaurice Priestly pleaded guilty to murder Monday in Muscogee County Superior Court in the killing of his friend, James Edwards Jr.
Judge Bobby Peters had rejected Priestly's bid to plead guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter.
Edwards, 24, was shot to death on March 20 at Priestly's house. The two men were drinking heavily during a barbecue when they got into an argument about whether music should be played in Priestly's PlayStation.
Edwards died from a single gunshot wound to the chest. The two men were friends and met while working together at a foundry and machine shop.
