BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- A man once charged with murdering a former bodybuilder was sentenced to six years in prison Tuesday.

Michael Lee Taylor pleaded no contest in October to voluntary manslaughter, and, in return, two other charges were dropped.

Taylor was accused along with Brian Martin Thompson and Blayne Allen Clifford in Patrick Matsuda's beating death.

Matsuda was fatally injured in February outside his southwest Bakersfield home. He reportedly went over to a neighbor's house to complain about a loud party. Police said Matsuda hit a couple partygoers and the fight escalated.

Taylor and Clifford were accused of hitting Matsuda with baseball bats.

Taylor was denied probation, but he was given credit for time served.

Thompson and Clifford remain jailed in lieu of $1 million bail. They're awaiting trial.

Man was beaten to death with baseball bats in front of his family and people are trying to downplay this.

That's reality son.  Imagine the pain of seeing their father beaten to death.

Those scumbags got off easy.  6 years is a joke.

u watch too many gangster movies dude  of course a bat can do that, and it doesnt have to take 2 or 3 hits either. one barry bonds swipe across the noggin and itll explode like a watermelon dropped onto cement from 10 feet up.

I believe he also fought in the Superbrawl in Hawaii.    This was a mma event back in the early days

Hmmm. "5 guys, I'll take a baseball bat. That should work."

Lesson- 5 guys, take a baseball bat and several knives and a gun. Five guys, even small guys will kill you.

Gotta love that good ol' American 'justice'.

6 years for killing someone?
and with a baseball bat, which is obviously more animalistic and brutal then using a gun!
voluntary manslaughter, not a murder charge?
2 other (what were they) charges dropped?

okay, so 6 years means maybe 4 with "good behavior" that is one F*(#@K UP SENTENCE!

what, he didn't have any priors? he's a "good boy" usually!

[DroppingPlates]

Guess what could happen to him over six years...

He wasn't a murderer set to  kill somebody ,he was in a party in his own house when Matsuda (instead of calling the police) knocked the door punched him and his girlfriend in the face ........................ .....the meathead fucked with the wrong people .

[Tom]

so he didn't call the police first then? well, that WAS stupid on his part then plus to go over someone's house and punch him and the girl, but still he DID KILL SOMEONE and with A BAT! still deserves more than 6 years i think!
