I think everyone posted before the facts were known, but Dabutt you posted first.
Yeah, and guess what: I was right.
I'm a cynical son of a bitch but I'm no so far gone that I doubt everything that I read, every decision made by a cop or every statement made by a witness. There was not a whiff of contradictory evidence in this case from Day One, so I had little reason to doubt what was initially reported. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...

In murder cases it's not uncommon for murderers who delusionally want to get away with it fitting up the victim.
And the paedo defence, along with the gay panic defence are not uncommon.
I think they are quite uncommon, indeed. So uncommon as to be a mere blip on the radar of actual murders and their investigations in this nation.

The rest of us seemed more astounded by your starting post, which felt very poor taste and overwilling to applaud someone's death, given the circumstances.
I will always champion the right of the victim to defend him/herself against a violent criminal. As for 'given the circumstances,' in this case where a man was raping a 5-year-old girl, I'd have a hard time not high-fiving the father and spitting on the corpse.
