Guilty Plea in Bar Fight Death
A Tidioute man charged with killing another man in a fight outside a bar in May has pleaded guilty to simple assault.
25-year-old Brandon Bynum was scheduled to go on trial Monday for killing 37-year-old Troy McFarland. He was charged with criminal homicide and simple assault.
District Attorney Ross McKeirnan said his office felt they didn't have proof of intent to support the homicide charge.
Bynum admitted that he hit McFarland in the face and knocked him to the ground.
McFarland's head hit the ground and his skull was fractured. He died at the scene.
Bynum faces up to two years in prison when he's sentenced on December 4.
