How did the next door neighbor get a chance to molest a 2 year old? That one would think would be with it's mother nearly all the time

it could be, since he lived with his elderly parents, that maybe the mom next door babysat sometimes.

I find myself asking this very same question. How would this known nut-case gain access to a two year old? When my kids were that age they were never out of the sight of at least one of us (father or mother). Whatever the mother told the father, must have been substantial enough that there was no question that it happened, otherwise doubt or disbelief would have subdued the rage. As a lawyer he was trained to reason through available evidence before drawing a conclusion. While I might have a similar reaction if I knew it was true, I sure think I would want to know beyond any reasonable doubt before I would go kill a man.

I can't help but wonder if somehow this dad was guilty of molestation and wanted to cover his tracks. I am almost afraid to say such a thing because I know the government always looks at the parents or husband first in any situation and that often leads to wrongful convictions, still something doesn't add up here.

If it is proven that this lunatic next door was actually guilty, then I agree that no jury in their right mind should convict. Either way this family will be haunted the rest of their lives over this, and that is a terrible tragedy.

Notice the neighbor is 58 years old, and living with his parents.
