The sentencing for Kim Polley, 42, of Marion, will be 10 a.m. July 20 in Linn County District Court.
Polley pleaded Monday to voluntary manslaughter in the beating death of Daniel Meade, 50, of Hiawatha, in December 2008. He faces a mandatory 10-year sentence. He was originally charged with second-degree murder.
He also faces up to a $10,000 fine and will be ordered to pay $150,000 to Meade's estate.
Polley hit Meade with his fists an unknown number of times and ruptured Meade's two vertebral arteries in his neck, according to court records.
