Pittsburg Man Sentenced on 1st Degree Murder Charge

 

A Pittsburg man has been sentenced for fatally shooting his father. Michael Woodson submitted an Alford plea to first-degree murder and was given 17 years in prison along with three years probation. The Alford plea means that Woodson doesn't admit to being guilty but admits the state's case is strong enough to convict him.

 

Woodson called the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office in April of 2020 to say he had just shot his father at their home in northwest Pittsburg. Deputies found 53-year-old David Buckley dead inside the home and arrested Woodson.
