Jefferson Parish Judge Ellen Kovach on Thursday (March 15) sentenced Ronald Gasser to 30 years in prison for gunning down former NFL player Joe McKnight after a five-mile, mutual road rage-fueled chase.

"Let this be a cautionary tale to all driver who rage behind the wheel of their car at other drivers," Kovach said. The tragedy could have been avoided if either man "had the good sense, the courage and the wisdom to simply disengage."

I don’t have a problem with the sentence. Dude is a hot head and it caught up to him.

So McKnight was just as guilty? The courts say a life is worth 30 years then.

I haven’t followed the evidence but someone in the nola.com comments mentioned foresics showed Joe walking away when he was shot. Is this true?

No that isnt true.


The forensics showed mcknights hand was on Gassers window, but the lack of blood and gunshot residue made it appear McKnight had his hand on the open window, and his body leaned back. Similar to this, accept Joe was leaning on the passenger window while gasser was in the driver seat

I don’t recall that being brought up at the trial.

I do think he will get a new trial because of the judge allowing the previous road rage incident.

You should not be able to shoot someone for simply approaching your car angry. That is not a reasonable threshold.
