Gary pled no contest to manslaughter and got no prison time, instead merely getting probation, community service, and a suspended sentence.
"They were not going to convict Gary of shooting the guy who molested his son. That wasn't going to happen—not in Baton Rouge." — Mike Barnett (Baton Rouge Sheriff's Dept.)

"Would you do it again?" He answered, "Hell yeah."
