I can KIND OF understand why the father reacted this way although it is not the right way to deal with these things at all. Hopefully a jury will go easy on this man, although I would still be wary of someone who exhibits such a lack of self-control... It's not right, and can only serve to make things worse for everyone involved, including his daughter... Prayers for his wife, and daughter, and the mother of the man who was killed as well. What a horrible tragedy.
Details matter.
If dad caught the guy in the act with his kid - then case closed.
From there it gets more complicated...
I agree ... the right way to do this would be to cut him into small enough pieces to feed to the gators, and be in a place with lots of witnesses when he disappeared. No body ... no crime.
The person who harms my 6 year old is going to take 6 months to die.
"...although it is not the right way to deal with these things at all."
And what is the right right way? To have this molester of an infant be sent to prison or a psych ward for a few years, then let out? Because that's our current "justice" system.
No. If jury nullification was good enough for OJ, I say this lawyer deserve to have 12 jurors who send an emphatic message that Americans have had it with the revolving door that exists for REAL DEPRAVED CRIMINALS--which this lawyer is not.
