Life Sentence for Neighbor’s Murder | Detroit News

Fifty-two-year-old Timothy Legard just got life without parole for a brutal crime: he stabbed his neighbor, William Allison, then assaulted Allison’s wife and daughter. Legard pleaded no contest — treated like a guilty plea — to first-degree murder and multiple assault charges. The prosecution dropped sexual assault charges in exchange. The attack began when Legard allegedly met Allison outside, then stabbed him with a kitchen knife before entering the home. Police found Allison dead in the driveway and Legard nearby, arrested shortly after. This case is a chilling reminder of how violence erupts suddenly — and how devastating it is for families. Legard’s sentence means he’ll spend the rest of his life behind bars. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
