(ANDERSON) - A central Indiana prison inmate has been convicted of fatally stabbing a fellow inmate as the two men were fighting in a prison segregation unit.
A Madison County jury convicted 31-year-old Clarence Parsley of murder and possession of a dangerous device in the May 2011 killing of 27-year-old Timothy P. Knapp.
His sentencing is scheduled for August 17.
Parsley testified that he forget he was holding a knife when he was temporarily blinded by mace a guard sprayed on him as the pair were fighting in the recreation area of a segregation unit at the Pendleton Correctional Facility.
