When asked why Gasser was released without charges, Normand mentioned state statutes that allowed the suspect's release while an investigation is underway. Louisiana has a "Stand Your Ground" law, much like Florida's, which states that a person is justified in using deadly force if he "reasonably believes [it] is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the premises or motor vehicle." 。
