An Appleton man will be standing trial for allegedly providing the gun that was used to shoot a twenty-three-year-old Appleton man to death. The man who shot and killed the twenty-three-year-old man has already been sentenced to at least fifty years in prison without parole.
Prosecutors claim that the gun was provided by the Appleton man, who then persuaded the shooter to shoot the victim in his chest. The man's defending attorneys have argued that, while the man did provide a gun, he did not intend to kill the victim and the shot that was fired did not directly hit the victim, but ricocheted off the ground and into the man's chest. If convicted, the man could spend several years in prison.
