Daniel Briffa, 25, of Birkirkara, was found guilty for seriously injuring Libyan Nizar El-Gadi, jailing him for two months, suspended for a year.
El-Gadi is the estranged husband of lawyer Margert Mifsud, whom he stands accused of murdering.
The court heard how Briffa had stabbed El-Gadi over a cycling incident allegedly in self-defence.
Lawyer Chris Cardona argued that his client had used a knife out of fear for El-Gadi, who became aggressive during an argument over the damage done to his car in February 15, 2009.
