WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Prosecutors say they won’t seek a second “Hard 50” sentence against a Wichita man convicted in a fatal 2009 stabbing.

Rogelio Soto was 16 when he took part in the March 17, 2009, stabbing death of 28-year-old Arturo Moreno. Soto was convicted and sentenced to at least 50 years before becoming parole eligible.

But a 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling essentially voided the Hard 50 sentences, which sent Soto’s case back to Sedgwick County court.

Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett told The Wichita Eagle recently that his office isn’t seeking the Hard 50 sentence for Soto, in part because two key witnesses are no longer in the United States.

Bennett’s office has notified the court that instead prosecutors will seek a 25-to-life prison term.
