Man who pleaded guilty to a fatal swatting gets a 20-year sentence
This is believed to be the first death related to swatting, but it was not the only time that Tyler Barriss has faced charges for making false reports. As the Associated Press reports, Barriss pleaded guilty to a total of 51 federal charges.
The two Call of Duty players whose dispute allegedly led to the call that caused Finch’s death are charged as co-conspirators, but that case is still ongoing after the two pleaded not guilty. Casey Viner reportedly plans to change his plea at a hearing on Wednesday, and Shane Gaskill’s trial will take place on April 23.
Finch’s family has sued the city of Wichita over the shooting. Earlier this year, Finch’s niece Adelina committed suicide. Speaking to The Wichita Eagle, the Finch family blames the suicide on Andrew’s tragic death. The officer who fired the fatal shot was cleared of criminal charges in the case by district attorney Marc Bennett.

James That's honestly a lot for this considering some people who do much worst things don't get a lot of time
This guy got some innocent person killed because of a game. I am glad that he got this time because if he didn't call the swat on him, he'd still be alive. Not to mention the suicide of that girl. All because someone got mad online playing games. Low key wish he had got more.
