HUNTINGTON -- The man convicted of dumping his friend's body along Interstate 64 is among those recently sentenced in Cabell Circuit Court.

Erick Linwood Deickman was sentenced June 24, 2010, and released on the same day. The Herald-Dispatch just recently learned of the sentencing.

Circuit Judge Dan O'Hanlon ordered that Deickman receive a one- to five-year prison sentence. Seeing that Deickman had already served more than a year behind bars the judge ordered his immediate release. O'Hanlon ordered any remaining time be served on unsupervised probation with a special condition that Deickman leave West Virginia.

Deickman pleaded no contest June 1 to felony concealment of a deceased human body. A state highways worker had found the 62-year-old body of Andrew Raymond Mulvany on April 27, 2009, stuffed in a garbage can along I-64 near the Milton exit.

The following punishments were more recently entered by Circuit Judge Alfred Ferguson.
