Amiria “Braka” Matlock pleaded no contest Sept. 1 to attempted first-degree assault. He had initially been charged with manslaughter.

Monday he was sentenced to five years probation and a unique jail sentence. Matlock will serve 120 days beginning Dec. 30 (Matlock will apply and be considered for work release). Jail officials reported that a 120-day sentence with good time ends up being 84 days.

Upon his release, Matlock will additionally report to jail on the Styles' birthday and the anniversary of Styles' death, Judge John Murphy ordered.

Matlock must additionally pay $500 a month in restitution, half of which will be deposited in a trust fund for Styles’ son, who can access the funds when he goes to college or when he turns 21, which ever comes first.

Medical expenses stemming from the incident, as well as funeral costs, will also be paid by Matlock.

Matlock and Styles got into a confrontation March 28, 2008, at Kelsey’s Bar. Matlock was provoked into striking Styles, who fell backward and hit his head on a pool table. Styles was removed from life support in Kearney three days later.
