Jeff Doucet died from a single gunshot wound to the head by Gary Plauche, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while he was being led in handcuffs. Doucet had previously kidnapped and raped Plauche’s young son. Doucet’s last moments were spent walking with the familiar swagger of pedophiles and serial killers who couldn’t care less about serving prison time. To them it isn’t a punishment. I should mention for posterity that I in no way condone violence.
Now here is the part of the story that sounds like a modern-day miracle: Plauche served no prison time for the killing of Doucet. He was given a seven-year suspended sentence, along with 300 hours of community service. He probably lived the rest of his days as a local folk hero.
