A college student who stabbed his roommate to death in a drunken fight over food was released from prison early on Tuesday after serving just 10 months behind bars.
Kendal Scheid, 24, was sentenced to three years imprisonment in 2017 for killing his friend, Duncan Unternaher, 23, after arguing with him about Arby's takeout in December 2016.
The pair, who were both students of The University of Akron, were at their off-campus apartment when Scheid stabbed him in the chest. Their other roommate called 911.
In October last year, Scheid pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to three years behind bars.
Kendal Scheid, 24, (left in court on Tuesday) was released from prison after serving 10 months for killing Duncan Unternahe, 23, (right) who he stabbed to death in a drunken, late night argument over Arby's takeout in December 2016
He was told by Summit County Common Pleas Judge Mary Rowlands at the time that if he behaved in prison, she would let him out early.
On Tuesday, he was granted early release by the same judge despite Unternhaer's parents' protests.
Before she made her ruling, Unternaher's parents pleaded desperately with her to keep him behind bars.
'A 23-year-old son’s life is worth more than 10 months in jail,' his father pleaded.
'We are functioning but we hurt daily. We will hurt daily for the rest of our lives.
'Please don’t increase our pain by letting him out,' his father, Gregory, pleaded with the judge.
His mother cried as she made her own plea.
Duncan's mother Brenda wept as she pleaded with a judge not to let her son's killer out after just 10 months. Scheid, who looked at the floor as she spoke, was sentenced to three years for involuntary manslaughter as part of a plea deal but he asked for early release in June
The pair were both 'extremely' drunk at the time of the fight, according to their roommates. It has never been made clear what exactly they were fighting about. Duncan was a business senior when he died
'It hurts every day to know that something this senseless took away one of my most valued treasures in life — my son Duncan,' she said.
The judge however granted the request on the basis that he has been well behaved in prison.
Afterwards, the victim's parents called for her to be stood down.
'What standard is that to say 'someone's dead now but [Scheid] is on his best behavior.
'We don't understand that logic of patting someone on the back for having murdered somebody because you're a role model prisoner,' Gregory Unternaher told WKYC.
On the night of the killing, the students' roommate called 911 to report it.
He said: 'My roommate just stabbed my other roommate. They're both extremely intoxicated.'
Unternaher lost consciousness in the bathroom of the apartment before EMTs arrived.
The killing happened at the apartment the pair shared with other roommates near the University of Akron's campus in Ohio
He was pronounced dead in the hospital two days later.
Prosecutors also pleaded with the judge not to let Scheid out early. They pointed to phone calls he had with his family while in prison where he spoke confidently about being released.
'Many of his conversations calls with family are about when he can get out of prison, how soon he can get out of prison.
'When asked by his father, just three days ago about if he thought about what he was going to say today, his response was a flippant, "Yeh, sure. I feel bad,"' said prosecutor Seema Misra.
The judge said she was 'put off' by the calls but that she decided to grant him early release anyway. His lawyer said he was committed to carrying on in society the way he had been living behind bars; taking courses and working.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
