Vigilante justice cannot be tolerated. All the same though, I'm glad that they let her off light.

She likely knew Uncle Bubba would serve less time for the crime than she would for stopping any future family members from being his next trophy. Time served should suffice and her record expunged after 2 years. Child molesters generally do not stop with one child and if it's family members many can become the offenders victim as no one wants to air the families dirty laundry.

Unfortunately the courts would have likely went light on him. Such persons as the dead man leave deep rooted scars in their victims that last forever. At least the child knows Uncle Bubba can never do it again to her or anyone else for that matter. She has my sympathies and understanding. Had I been on the jury a Not Guilty would have been my vote on all counts.

How is it better for today's government to pass judgement?

I am pleased when good things happen to good people, and bad to bad. I see no need to protest when desirable conditions are achieved.

This is exactly the sort of case that Jury Nullification is designed for... yes she broke the letter of the law, but she did not act in a way any other reasonable mother would not act.

Jury should have acquitted... its why we have Jury's.. if it was nothing but letter of the law, there would be no need for them.

NO way I would have convicted her on any charges, stemming from this.

Considering this latest story of a judge who released a violent sexual predator, I do not agree with your sentiments.

Rapists and pedophiles have a ridiculously high recidivism rate. I'd say this woman did society a favor and should be given not only a medal, but a parade.

This isn't Vigilante Justice. This is just plain old common sense.

This needs to happen a bit more frequently. Too bad she was caught.

I see nothing wrong with vigilante justice as long as the vigilante gets the right person!

Unless it is the only source of justice, which is becoming more and more the case.

What possessed the prosecutor to go after first degree murder?
