A Saskatoon jury has found Lajray Gordon guilty of manslaughter in the stabbing death of David Merasty.
The verdict was announced Wednesday morning, about a day after jury deliberations began.
Gordon was charged with second-degree murder, but the jury found him not guilty of that charge.
Merasty was stabbed on Avenue E South in June of 2016.
The defence argued during the trial that Gordon acted in self-defence when he stabbed Merasty. The Crown said Gordon was the aggressor and stabbed Merasty intentionally.
Gordon was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison, but was given credit for time served, meaning he'll serve six more years in prison.
