Here is the way the title of this piece should read.

"San Jose man faces life sentence for attacking man who admits molesting his 8 year old stepdaughter"

It is unbelievable. The guy admits to duct taping the little 8 year old girls mouth shut and then molesting her. Now the father faces more time than the admitted molester.

The father should be set free. The molester should be castrated. The prosecuting attorneys going after the father should face disbarment.

Prosecutors only care about one thing: Getting a conviction. Truth, morality or righteousness be damned.

There hasn’t been a trial yet. Good luck in trying to get a conviction.

This ‘civilization’ is too decadent to survive much longer.

I’m surprised the father isn’t being charged with a hate crime. Don’t worry it will happen. Will Nancy Grace care about this case? *crickets* This man is a hero and he is going to be put through hell just to satisfy an arrogant son of a bitch progressive Democrat DA Jeff Rosen.

You can let the bastard know how you feel on his facebook page.

When is the DA up for reelection? Charges shouldn’t have even been filed.

Jury Nullification.

True with some, not with all. If the prosecutor has political aspirations, this assertion is true more often than not.

Apologizing for raping a little girl is a meaningless “apology” (which probably was given only to get sympathy from the judicial system). The girl’s life is changed forever.

..........no, here is the way it should read: A mobile jury, all professionals, a judge, prosecutor and defense lawyer arrived on the scene, listened to the evidence and recommended death by firing squad. Minutes later, a professional execution team arrived on scene and carried out the sentence. A city garbage truck arrived and picked up the body.

The father was issued a mayoral citation for doing exactly what a father should do.

Judging by the comments on the article, Rosen is going to have a tough jury, and probably a tough reelection campaign.

If the two guys had time to drive the molester out to a ranch to beat him, they had more than enough time to call the cops.

If the Dad woulda beat his ass right when he heard about it, I’d be totally on his side. He didn’t, so he is guilty of what he is charged with.

Does he deserve life in prison, no, but he deserves more than 2 years. We are either a nation of laws or we aren’t.

Hold on a second. Had the stepfather and his brother just beaten the hell out of the molester as soon as they caught him, or even killed him, it is one thing, but they in effect kidnapped him, took him to a ranch, and tortured him.

Even murder is distinguished between first degree, which is a planned and executed murder; and second degree, done in the heat of anger.

Some states now have a death penalty for some child molesters, yet even there, it is a function of the state, with considerable slack for heat of anger defenses. But even they would say that citizens cannot “keep” a molester for a length of time while torturing them.

Had the father used a knife instead of his fists, his act would at least have resulted in a more permanent solution
