{Lexington,
Kentucky}…Former University of Kentucky employee 51 year old Mike Douglas
Rieder, who was a truck driver for the University of Kentucky's Physical Plant
Division, was sentenced to 10 years in prison Thursday in the April 2011 death
of U.S. Marine soldier 29 year old James R. Muzic. Police say Rieder and
Muzic had been at the Office Lounge bar on Eastland Parkway near New Circle Road,
and Rieder had given Muzic a ride in his car before the two began arguing. Rieder
pulled over at the gas station and told Muzic to get out. When Muzic refused,
Rieder pulled him out of the car and pointed a gun at him. The gun discharged,
killing Muzic. Rieder plans to appeal.
