A Bears fan was stabbed to death while in Florida to watch them play the Jaguars. Matthew Reid Hinson was sentenced to life for the murder.
A 29-year-old Florida man has been sentenced to life in prison for fatally stabbing a visiting Chicago Bears fan at a bar before a football game in 2012.
Matthew Reid Hinson, a Navy veteran, pleaded guilty last May to killing William Pettry. Authorities say Hinson slashed 42-year-old Pettry’s neck with a pocket knife. Police say Pettry and a friend were talking to Hinson’s wife before the stabbing happened.
