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.

I feel so bad for the family still, he did not deserve this and it's so sad to know this is what our community has come to :/ glad that something has been done about it though

Dude should have gotten way more time. He did this multiple times and also called in a couple bomb threats. The only fair punishment would be end his life the same way, in a mass of confusion
