But if the driver who was defending himself shot Garett for no reason, why was he released?

As mentioned in the press conference, the driver and the other guy that fired at the driver's car were both detained and questioned by detectives, and released pending investigation. And it wouldn't be that he killed Garrett for no reason, but because he panicked when he saw a gun, even if it wasn't pointed at him.

And to be clear, because of the angles, I don't think he could have believed the gun was being pointed at him when it wasn't. Garrett had been going to these marches for several days now, and bringing his rifle with him. We know from other photos of him carrying that he keeps it with the stock by his right shoulder and the barrel down and to the left. Since he was walking up on the driver's side, the gun wouldn't be pointed anywhere near the driver.

The reason why it matters is when the driver was on the phone with police right after the shooting, the driver told police that he had drawn his weapon and shot Garrett because Garrett had pointed his rifle at him. If Garrett wasn't pointing his rifle at him, the guy was lying on the phone to make his case sound more sympathetic.
