A Fayette County man will spend at least the next six years in prison after he pleaded guilty in connection with the November shooting death of his 12-year-old son.

Michael Muha Jr., 40, of Redstone, agreed to plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter in exchange for a jail sentence of 21/2 to 5 years.

However, Fayette County President Judge Conrad Capuzzi yesterday sentenced Mr. Muha to a consecutive term of four to eight years for illegal possession of a firearm as a convicted felon.

The sentence gives Mr. Muha credit for the approximately seven months he has served since his arrest Nov. 23.

The boy, Michael "Mikey" Muha III, suffered a fatal gunshot wound of the chest during a dispute on that evening.

A gun was involved in a dispute between Mr. Muha and his girlfriend, Tasha Miciotto.
