Philadelphia Man Sentenced for Fatal Stabbing Over Snoring Dispute

Christopher Casey receives up to 23 months in jail after pleading guilty to involuntary manslaughter in the death of his neighbor, Robert Wallace.

Casey and Wallace had ongoing disputes over Casey's loud snoring, which Wallace could hear through their shared wall.
The fatal incident occurred after Wallace threatened Casey and offered to pay for surgery to stop the snoring.
Casey used a military-style knife to stab Wallace, who was found 50 feet from the duplex and later pronounced dead.
Casey's defense argued that he was acting out of fear due to Wallace's repeated threats and his difficulty handling confrontation due to autism.
Wallace's family stated that his inability to sleep due to the snoring severely impacted his quality of life and work.
