BALTIMORE - A 21-year-old Pasadena man pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter Thursday for shoving a stranger who couldn't swim into the Inner Harbor in 2008 — an act previously characterized by one Baltimore judge as complete stupidity.
Wayne Black, who was 18 when he pushed 22-year-old Ankush Gupta into the water and ran, will be sentenced to four years in prison at his sentencing, scheduled for Aug. 30, per an agreement cut with Baltimore Circuit Judge M. Brooke Murdock.
His mother dabbed tears from her eyes as the deal was done, while Gupta's friends and family sat stone-faced on the other side of the courtroom.

Only 4 years....great legal system we have here in MD.
This is so bizarre....I just read 2 to 3 days ago (on this blog) about a guy getting 54 years for shooting someone in the hand, and someone who killed a cop in a fight over a parking place got 10 years. I'm not sure I understand any of this.
