William Brown, a man charged with voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, has pleaded guilty after a jury failed to reach a verdict in the case. The charges stem from a July 27, 2024, incident at the Porterdale Bar and Grill. Prosecutors argued Brown's actions were not justified, while defense attorneys claimed Brown acted in self-defense. After two days of deliberations, a judge declared a mistrial due to the lack of a unanimous verdict. Brown was sentenced to 15 years in prison and 10 years on probation.
