Ohio gamer sentenced to 15 months prison for fatal 'swatting' case.

to felony charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice in the hope that he would not be sentenced to prison. Viner admitted trying to hide his involvement in the 2017 incident when he realized the antic had gotten someone killed.

Nineteen-year-old Casey Viner of North College Hill, Ohio, changed his plea Wednesday to guilty on charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice., drew national attention to"swatting," a form of retaliation in which someone reports a false emergency to get authorities, particularly a SWAT team, to descend on an address.

Gaskill, who had previously given his old Wichita address to Viner, was charged as a co-conspirator after knowingly giving Barriss the same former address and taunting him to"try something." The federal indictment alleged that a forensic examination of Viner's iPhone recovered his deleted outgoing messages to unknown persons, including one in which Viner allegedly wrote:"I was involved in someone's death."

He got off light

chasrmartin Should have been life. That's appropriate for a murder, I think.

I am so glad for social media. It has helped to expose the amount of injustice, that has gone on for years in this country.

Bruh...White people have been finessing the court system all day today. White girl killed her unwanted baby & got probation. White guy raped someone & was released w/o bond so his grades wouldn’t suffer. Felicity got 14 days for bribery & now THIS! 15 months for a life 🤦🏾‍♀️

While a black man was locked up for 35 yrs for stealing $50.00 ...?

What the fuck

What is the difference between Donald Trump's way of business and swatting? He uses loyalists under falsified information to add stress to your life

Wow! 15 months! 15 MONTHS! 😳

white skin privilege. 15 years more appropriate. He took at human life

They basically used the cops as a weapon, wow.

White Privileged is everywhere

I hope someone 'swats' him in prison.

That sounds like justice

JonMIPol JonIsAwesomest the swat team officer who shot is at least as responsible. He actually fired the shot

The fact they can find your address playing a stupid fucking video game really should get curtailed, the government is as much to blame for this....

Meanwhile rich white girls getting off the hook for multi million dollar fraud of college fraud... get rid of old white people ruining our system

Another case of sounds about white...errr right.

Big shock, no responsibility whatsoever for the police who shot an innocent man. Sure, send this prick to prison, but the cops fucked up too.

Not long enough.

should have been years not months

Thank goodness for the justice system

How about 10-15years instead?
