So here's my answer, after all that open-mind consideration: Gant will surely not be able to come back in, seeing that he's murdered at least two people, and possibly more. If they wanted to try a big twist, and this is probably too much of a twist, they could have him as a member of an organized crime group. He would seem like that type of person. Maybe something like the other members are trying to get revenge for his arrest. But more realistically, I think that more criminals like him would be great. But it might work out even better if they mixed his personality with the other criminals of the games. He was slippery, but mostly because of his power and the hold he had over others. Combine that and a criminal that is just a plain-out, slick, smooth liar, and that would make a great opponent. Maybe they might do something like that as the last criminal of the Odoroki ark.

That said...Death penalty-wise? It's a shame as he's a very talented and awesome character, but unfortunately considering he's a serial murderer along with a black-mailer and forgerer, and the people he killed were both in law enforcement so that probably carried an even more serious penalty, combined with the fact that the PW universe seems to be very harsh with its sentences and that we already know it carries a possible death penalty for serial murderers...I'm afraid his charisma isn't enough to escape death row. Of course, anything's possible and since they rarely tell us the criminals' sentences we're free to speculate, but I think execution is pretty likely.

)I could just see Gant starting up some crime syndicate that specializes in vigilanteism since he hates crime so much--as hypocritical as it sounds. Then Lana and other 1-5 people go bonkers...
Dude, that would make a great fanfic.. *runs off*
Too lazy... hur hur.

...Actually, this reminds me of something. There was a line in the third trial day that went something like this:
"Be tough on crime and tough on people! That's how I was raised."This is sort of a stretch, but...it sort of makes you wonder what sort of family he had that he turned out to be such an outwardly cheerful, yet cold and sinister man. He's certainly fascinating, at any rate.
...Oh, and for the people who say that Gant is no doubt dead or imprisoned? This is PW. We have spirit mediums

Only Darke was confirmed.. and a few others but none important to this topic.

Well, as charismatic, jolly, and fascinating as he is, Damon Gant is also 100% egotistical, which is dangerous with a person like him who isn't afraid to kill a person or two to get what he wants. Sure, people can change, but I think with as complete lack of empathy as he has isn't likely to suddenly have a change of heart. I can't claim to be terribly knowledgeable about psychology, but I'm pretty sure that for someone like him who has THAT little empathy can't just change. You can TRY to care, but you can't MAKE yourself care if that's the way your brain functions.

Woah. Not a bad idea at all. They could have a crime that they figure out he knew something big about but never shared. Or another crime he committed before being taken to prison. It would be great if they put that in one of the manga or maybe a flashback case. I would love to see one of the spirit mediums do all his funny motions (clapping, staring, getting electrocuted, etc.).
But besides that, I think he could get off on being insane. Can anyone think of any way to bring him back through him being in a clinic? Maybe you can pay a visit to get some information from him. That's all I can think of for now.

Sometimes I just think that the supposed "death sentence" for the defendant is just so Nick will be motivated to help out whomever. Between the guilty admitting to the crime(s) and whatnot whey might get off easier.
While I doubt that we'll see Gant again, it is really a shame to have such an awesome character go to waste.
Too lazy... hur hur.

The only thing to have come out of case 5's resolution/existance was Ema skye.
As for the hypothetical...well, Gant was certainly quite the efficiant police chief, and a pretty good Image as far as his 'obvious' persona went. If he was to reappear, in whatever plothole/fashion, I think he'd probably most certainly be back on the opposite side of the law again as the overly charismatic leader of criminals...or even, dare I say it, a known contact of Shelly De Killer!
Gant's exit was a shame - Just watching his 'Pause...Hair twirl...CLAP' Pose was enough to crack a smile from me, as well as having the organ theme fade out, then go to 'Congratulations everybody' theme just to add to it.
Ah...Ganto ol' Boy, Wish we coulda swum with you longer!

Judging by von Karma's presumed execution (implied by Franziska) and Dahlia's definite execution, it doesn't take very long to file through death row in the PW world, though.

He murdered Neil out of his own selfish desire for fame and advancement. If all he wanted was to prove Darke guilty of something, or to prevent him from hurting other people, there are a dozen ways he could have gone about it. He could have maybe stabbed Neil in a non-lethal area with Darke's switchblade. Maybe he could have just killed Darke all together and said it was self defense. But instead, he chose to MURDER A COMRADE for no reason other than the possibility that he could get a promotion from it.
I don't believe for a second that you can "reform" from that kind of blind insensitivity and selfishness. The fact that it even occured to him (if I murder this unconscious man, I might be able to blame it on Darke and become chief!) pretty much says how twisted he really is. He can say he's sorry, but he's already 65 years old. Can you recover from being a sick bastard for that long just by being caught?
I don't think so. I thought his giving up at the end was more of a copout than anything. And I don't think his hanging around after his case was finished would add anything positive to the series. Not only would it shatter any faith in the PW justice system anyone had left, but it'd just be kind of pointless.
He was an interesting villain. I don't think he'd be an interesting reformed villain.

Actually, he was going to take over the job as chief even if that had never occurred. He says so in the game, and even get's it confirmed.
So he really had no other reason to do it besides taking over the PROSECUTION OFFICE

Well, the resolution of SL-9 sped up the process of him becoming chief so that was incentive (even if by just smidgen) for him to kill. But then again, he would have to be a psychotic genius to be able to think that far ahead. Given the circumstances, however, that's not unlikely.

You're right, The main reason was to rise to power. but I think he also did it to catch Darke at the same time. Gant and lana had been after this guy for a long time. They were getting desperate.
