GRETNA, La. (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Louisiana man accused of killing former Jets running back Joe McKnight during a road rage dispute was indicted Thursday on a charge that carries a mandatory life sentence — a stiffer charge than the one he originally faced.
As a result of the second-degree murder indictment, Judge June Darensburg increased Ronald Gasser’s bond from $500,000 to $750,000, Jefferson Parish District Attorney Paul Connick Jr. said in the news release.
The 55-year-old Terrytown man’s attorneys, Gerry Archer and Matthew Goetz, did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
