Father of the Year
As a father you know in your heart you would do anything to protect your children. Would you, could you, do this?
A 23-year-old Texas man beat a guy to death because he was molesting his 4-year old daughter.
"The victim was an acquaintance of the girl's father who came to the barn to help care for some horses.
The adults were shoeing a horse and had sent the 4-year-old and her brother to feed chickens when the attack occurred.
The children's grandfather said the boy returned to alert his father that the little girl had been taken away by a man. The father found the pair partially naked.
In the course of trying to get her away from him, and protect her, he struck the subject several times in the head and the subject died."
He won't be charged with a crime (unless new evidence emerges refuting this story). If it's true this guy is a hero. And I hope if I were ever in that situation, I would do the same thing.
i would absolutely do the same thing and wouldn't even worry about claiming self defense.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't even need to. If he were prosecuted he could plead not guilty and no jury in the world would convict him.
ReplyDeleteI think the defense would technically be temporary insanity here. I agree with Bill and Paul that unless there is evidence contrary to this guy's story, he has zero need to worry about being convicted.
