So this guy comes home and finds a man raping his step son, he kills the rapist, and will spend two and a half years in prison for it.
According to the information I can find he stopped the attack, and then went on to beat the man to death. He claims it was an accident, he was enraged and he kept hitting the rapist. Either way, it seems to be a case of revenge assault, not defensive assault.
None the less. The man is raping your son on your front porch. You come home, rescue your son, and turn on his attacker.
In my opinion, this is a miscarriage of justice.
I feel nothing for the rapist. I feel nothing but sorrow for the boy and his father.
