Don't get me wrong. I'm glad he beat the fucker to death. But what saved him was he called 911 and attempted cpr after he killed him

Get me right. What saved him was justifiable homicide, AKA Crime of Passion, temporary insanity whagever

For the record, this has happened in Texas before, and father killed rapist and faced no charges. They are consistent.

1) I don't know about that case, but in this instance it had nothing to do with it being a father and a rapist. A man defended someone being

2) attacked, in both self defense and defense of a minor. Then he sought help for the person he injured but he ended up dying by accident.

3) Legally speaking, this is a lot like accidentally killing someone by shooting them during a home invasion. Not their fault.

Why is everyone apologizing for saying you are okay with this? A father caught a rapist in the act with his fucking daughter! Die Fkn sicko!

Jury nullification is when a jury reaches a verdict contrary to the weight of evidence because of a disagreement with the law.
