Man gets 23 years for stabbing neighbor to death
By Craig Kapitan - Express-NewsA San Antonio man alleged to have initially told police the Mexican Mafia was responsible for his neighbor's stabbing death — but then told jurors he committed the slaying in self-defense — received a 23-year prison sentence Monday.
Anthony Deleon, 50, will have to serve at least half of the sentence before he will be eligible to apply for parole.
Jurors also assessed a $5,000 fine. They deliberated about six hours before deciding punishment.
