GREAT BEND, Kan. (AP) — A 33-year-old Barton County man will serve at least 25 years in prison for the shooting death of a Great Bend man.

A Barton County judge Thursday sentenced Jeffrey Wade Chapman of Pawnee Rock to life in prison with no chance for parole for 25 years. The sentence is for the November 2011 death of 25-year-old Damon Galyardt. Chapman was found guilty in February of first-degree murder.

Prosecutors argued that Chapman killed Galyardt because of the way he was treating a mutual friend. Chapman claimed he shot Galyardt in self-defense.

Chapman’s case drew attention in 2013 when he asked for permission to cover or remove a tattoo of the mirrored image of the word “murder” on his neck. He was allowed to wear a turtleneck during the trial.
