BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A Boise man has pleaded guilty involuntary manslaughter for throwing a punch that lead to the death of his friend.
Joshua Luman entered his plea in Ada County’s 4th District Court on Friday. He’s set for sentencing next month.
Prosecutors said Luman punched 26-year-old Noah Hopper in the face, which caused him to hit his head on concrete last fall. Prosecutors said the impact of both blows led to Hopper’s death later that day.
Luman was charged with second-degree murder but prosecutors reduced the charge in exchange for his guilty plea.
