NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A Norfolk man has again been sentenced to 40 years to life in prison after he was convicted of murder for the second time.

The Norfolk Daily News reports that De’Aris Trice was found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of 27-year-old Timothy Warren at a Norfolk house party in 2010.

The 24-year-old Tryce was resentenced Friday. His original sentence was imposed in 2013, but his conviction was overturned by the Nebraska Supreme Court in July of that year.

Tryce was granted a new trial after the court found problems with jury instructions from a different case. The high court said the instruction given in Trice’s original trial was correct at the time, but a retrial was ordered in light of the ruling.
