He's retained a high octane attorney in Mickey Sherman, that's for sure.
Interesting that they also charged him with burglary.

Either piling it on or a lesser charge to get him on.
Burglary just means he broke into the house, not that he stole anything.
Well, if he took something (other than the other guy's life), you've got breaking and entering and larceny.
I hope it goes to trial -- not the burglary, the homicide. I'm wondering if the trial would turn into a prosecution of the deceased. If you can show that the deceased did molest the child, then, yeah, ceteris paribus, nullification would be the way I'd go if I were on the jury.
Lovely as it is to think of this kind of amateur punishment, there are problems. What if the guy did not molest his daughter? What if the killer was intoxicated at the time?
When an officer of the court takes the law into his own hands, you've got a mess.
Might give a jury a graceful out.
Prosecutors are gaming for a plea bargain.
The government does not like "self help" it exposes the weakness of the state.
Now the ACLU will civily sue the attorney. The fact of the matters is a child's death is temporary insanity.
