I guess watching the little girl sleep gave him wood.

The punishment by the vigilante group seems a little extreme.

But I would let her off with a 'not guilty by reason of temporary insanity' plea.

I just gotta ask:
how is a man sexually assaulted with a tree branch?

If this guy does live, he'll be crapping toothpicks for the next two weeks.

Shoot and shovel.

If Russo dies, murder charges could be filed, police added.

Look for more vigilante actions as people lose faith in the courts.

Sounds like he got what he deserved. How long until he decided that watching through the window wasn't enough?

I'd have to go with the insanity defense too. I know I would have gone crazy on him.

[Jeff Head]

My guess is, should he survive, he may have learned not to be watching five year old little girls sleep through their bedroom windows while he's got his pants around his ankles anymore...doing whatever he was doing while watching.

"while watching a 5-year-old girl sleep."

Does anyone really believe that he was going to "only watch". I am surprised that this reporter wants us to believe that this person was only going to watch. Also omitted was the his criminal record if any. Lets all feel sorry for some scumbag that got what they deserved.
