A man already convicted in three murders and serving a life sentence has pleaded guilty to attempted aggravated murder and other charges in an attack on a prison guard in southern Ohio.

Casey Pigge has been sentenced to 32 more years in prison. Pigge pleaded guilty Wednesday in the attack on Matthew Mathias at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in 2018.

Authorities said Pigge and a co-defendant attacked the officer as he was escorting them to the prison infirmary. Prosecutors say Mathias was stabbed 32 times with knives made of metal from the inmates' beds. The Chillicothe Gazette reports Pigge appeared to show no remorse Wednesday, saying "it is what it is."

Prison officials say Pigge and his co-defendant, Greg Reinke, are both on hunger strikes, alleging overly harsh treatment by guards.
