Anthony was granted bail on Thursday, December 19, 2019, and served the remainder of his sentence with his stepmother and stepbrother.
He was ordered to continue reporting for drug testing and to remain under supervision after his release.
Templet was sentenced to five years of supervised probation in March 2021 after accepting a plea agreement and pleading no contest to the lesser charge of negligent murder.
However, prosecutor Dana Gummings questioned the value of incarceration for a young man who had never had the opportunity to attend school or learn about the outside world.
As part of the plea bargain, he agreed to complete his high school education and then decide whether to continue or seek full-time employment. If he complies, the mark on his record will be removed, according to The Advocate.
Anthony was a five-year-old boy when his father abducted him. Furthermore, he was kept as a prisoner and was prohibited from attending school or meeting anyone.
No one else could have imagined the physical and mental toll he had to bear. A father, whom every child believes is their protector, had himself taken his son’s freedom. No crime in the world is more heinous than that.
Thomas suffered in silence for 11 years, but when his patience ran out, he did what any little boy in any corner of the world would do. He assassinated the man to blame for everything wrong that had happened to him.
As a result, the jury and judges were also speechless when the truth was revealed.
Based on Templet’s story, the documentary series “I Just Killed My Dad” will be available on Netflix on August 9.
