A Texas father has not been arrested and is unlikely to face charges after he beat a man to death for trying to molest his 4-year-old daughter at their rural ranch, authorities said Monday.
Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon said... the victim was a 47-year-old man from Gonazles with no apparent prior criminal history.... an "acquaintance" of the father who had come to help care for some horses...
The father called police late Saturday afternoon and told them he attacked a man caught trying to sexually assault his daughter, Harmon said. The alleged attack happened near a barn where some horses were being kept.

“A Texas father has not been arrested and is unlikely to face charges...”
Ya gotta love Texas.
Interesting thing to note, in reference to the Trayvon case: this father didn’t mean to kill the guy. He just beat him with his hands, and the guy died. No gun involved.
Even if a person doesn’t MEAN to kill you, if they start beating your head you are in danger for your life.
The eyewitness testimony that Trayvon was banging Zimmerman’s head on the concrete, coupled with the injuries to Zimmerman’s head, are all the evidence necessary to decide that Zimmerman is innocent. Doesn’t matter who started it; at that point Zimmerman’s life was in danger and lethal force was justifiable.
Seems like an update to the original story.
There should NOT be any charges against this father.
