A 25-year-old Wildomar man has been convicted of attempted voluntary manslaughter for stabbing a friend to death during a party at his home.

Joseph James Sawicki had been charged with attempted murder, but the nine-woman, three-man jury convicted him instead of the lesser charge of attempted voluntary manslaughter for the Sept. 8, 2006, stabbing of his good friend, David Matthews, during a melee at Sawicki's home in the 22000 block of Shoreview Court.
