Scott Hayes, 48, faces possible dismissal of charges for shooting Caleb Gannon during a pro-Israel rally in Newton last September, contingent on complying with probation terms. Prosecutors allege Gannon attacked Hayes, prompting the shooting. Hayes has been placed on pre-trial probation, requiring him to avoid Gannon, complete a civil discourse course, and seek employment. Failure to comply may result in trial. Gannon has his own assault and battery charges stemming from the incident. The District Attorney articulated that the resolution resulted from extensive legal review.
This resolution is the result of hundreds of hours of in-depth review and analysis by our legal and law enforcement experts, indicating it is the appropriate outcome given the facts.
Hayes has been placed on pre-trial probation with conditions, including seeking employment and staying away from Gannon, who has ongoing charges related to the incident.
