The SWATing incident that resulted in a death?

[thewayne]

The 25 y/o who called the police and started the sequence of events that resulted in the death is in custody in Kansas and is facing a ten year prison sentence for involuntary manslaughter. He's being held on a $500,000 bail. Kansas may be adding a second charge of making a false report, also a felony. And Canadian authorities are also looking in to charges, though none of their charges are felonies.

Now that he's been unmasked and admitted to other identifiable attacks, I'm hoping other law enforcement agencies start backtracking investigations and he can spend the rest of his life in prison or awaiting trial. And considering that one of these attacks was against an FCC hearing, that can bring in the FBI.

One can but hope! Some people get older but don't grow up in any fashion, at 25 he clearly hadn't shown any signs of maturity. Well, he's about to get a crash course in what responsibility looks like from the inside of the legal system.
