Judge Baker later stated she regretted giving Bostic the sentence, and actively supported his appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, along with Ken Starr, Sally Yates, Donald B. Verrilli Jr. and over 100 current and former judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers. In April 2018, the Supreme Court denied Bostic’s appeal.

The dispute was settled without violence. When they left the area, Bostic and Hutson noticed the group of six along with a large truck full of things. They were delivering gifts to a family in need for Christmas. Bostic and Hutson came up with the idea of take the group hostage immediately after which they confronted them with guns drawn and demanding money from the man. If the man refused to pay, Bostic shot at him and the bullet hit him.
