He reached a deal in the case that saw him sentenced to probation instead of 20 years in prison. He was also forced to pay $40,000 in restitution. Years later, Gutgsell, 65, was violently attacked at the St. John the Baptist rectory in Fort Calhoun. He had called 911 to report a break-in moments before he was found fatally wounded.
