The father says on Saturday he caught the 47-year old man he'd hired to help with his horses, trying to assault his four year old daughter. That's when he attacked, beating the alleged molester to death with his bare hands.
Operative words are bold (assuming all the information in this brief article is accurate). Trying to assault and actually assaulting are two very different things. Beating someone to death takes quite a bit of time, so it's not easy to believe the father did not go way above and beyond protecting his child and didn't have time to consider his actions.
The father have killed a man that may never be proven guilty of any crime.
Maybe "trying to assault" meant his daughter was already stripped of her clothing, terrified lying on the bed and this man was about 1 second away from getting his underwear off...then you walk in.
That man wouldn't have stood a chance if that was my daughter he was about to rape.
