The man who shot & killed former NFL player Joe McKnight back in 2016 changes his plea to guilty of manslaughter.

He was promptly sentenced to ten years in prison.

61-year-old Ronald Gasser was scheduled for a retrial of his 2018 conviction.

This is due to the state tossing out non-unanimous jury verdicts.

Gasser shot McKnight during a road rage incident in Terrytown.
