(CNN) -- A Texas father caught a man sexually assaulting his 4-year-old daughter and punched him in the head repeatedly, killing him, authorities said.
Lavaca County Precinct Judge Alene Lyons, who is coordinating information in the case including autopsy results, said Monday that a preliminary autopsy report indicated the victim "died from blunt-force head and neck injuries."

Doesn't matter if he did which I don't think he did. It's unfair to require the same level of logical thinking from a person that's in the heat of the moment and only has seconds to react as that of someone who had a week to think about it.
The key word being react. A person should act logically, but if you force them into a position where they have to REACT to what you're doing, you're not giving them the chance to think logically. You're are acting irresponsibly. When you act irresponsibly you can get hurt. That's what happened here.edit on 12-6-2012 by tinfoilman because: (no reason given)

Well first there's no law that we cage people just because they don't think logically. It's not illegal to act illogically. We only cage a few of the animals. Acting like an illogical animal is no reason to cage someone. Or else we've have a lot more animals to be caging don't you think?
Also, the father can act logically. But he wasn't given the chance to act. He was only give a chance to react which is something entirely different. Rape can lead to death and the law recognizes that you can act in self defense for another to protect their life.
If the rapist doesn't like it and he wanted the father to act more logically he simply should have called ahead and let the father know what he was planning to do. That would have given the father a chance to think about it logically and come up with the right answer. But since he didn't do that, he got hurt. It's just one of those things. It's not really anyone's fault. Except the rapist's of course.edit on 12-6-2012 by tinfoilman because: (no reason given)edit on 12-6-2012 by tinfoilman because: (no reason given)

So, if you go to a buddies house and rough house around and he accidentally kills you, you will be comfortable with him screaming, "PEDOPHILE" to keep himself out of jail?
I will keep note of this if you or one of your kids are ever at my home for a bbq.
Hope it helps
