Indy man is sentenced to 10 years for a burglary charge in exchange for his murder case being dropped

An Indianapolis man is sentenced to 10 years behind bars after pleading guilty to a burglary charge, in exchange for his murder case being dismissed. Inside a home on Indy's southeast side on Christmas morning 2020, 40-year-old Tiffiny Allen was shot to death. Prosecutors charged her ex-boyfriend Zacharia Schmidt with that murder, but as part of a plea deal, the murder charge was dropped and replaced with a charge of burglary.
