PROVO An Orem man will remain in the Utah State Hospital and serve five years of probation for the 2011 death of his roommate at the psychiatric facility.
Fourth District Judge Christine Johnson sentenced James Clive Norman, 43, in Provo on Thursday, ordering him to wear an ankle monitor in the event he is released from the hospital.
Johnson called the sentence “the best way to balance the interests of not only Mr. Norman but the community at large.”
Norman, 42, pleaded no contest in October to a reduced charge of manslaughter, a second-degree felony, in the death of 28-year-old Omar Abas Sharif. As part of a plea bargain with prosecutors, he agreed not to fight allegations that he killed Sharif on March 18, 2011.
