Corrected entry: The gang members would've walked. Walt deliberately made it look like he pointed a gun at them. Any reasonable person would've thought he did. What were they supposed to, let him shoot them? And they wouldn't have even been charged with murder, they would've been charged with manslaughter.

Correction: That is pure speculation. The neighbors would obviously have supported what Walt did, and he created the situation so they could testify the gang members killed an unarmed man. Who is a jury more likely to believe? gang-bangers, or a group of frightened innocent people?
