IF the circumstances are proven true ( and that is important, because I don’t want a country where you can kill anyone you want and then allege they molested a kid ). . .
as a juror I would not vote to convict.
If there were a decent expectation of justice for child rapists in this country, I would. But there isn’t. Until the death penalty is applied consistently and quickly, well, a father has to what a father has to do.
Correction, as I think it out, if he killed him while defending his daughter, I wouldn’t convict either, even if we did have swift and equitable application of the death penalty.
Currently, child rape is not even a death penalty offense. The mind boggles.

This is Texas, he won't be tried. The DA will bring this case before a grand jury, and request them to "no bill" the father, that is not bring charges against him. This will protect the father, because no future charges could be brought against the father based on the existing evidence. Any future charges would have to be based on new evidence discovered after the grand jury decision not to bring charges.
