Wright, who was originally charged with first-degree murder, stood trial in 2015, but it ended in a mistrial.
He was allegedly involved in the slaying with Charles Giebler, who was the mayor of Florence. The 52-year-old Giebler died in 2013 before the investigation was complete.
Wright and Giebler owned a funeral home together and knew Griffy through the business.
