Or the child-molesting-rapist is complete weak-sauce, there's that chance too.
that is possible but more likely the father was just "Hulk angry, Hulk smash" mad
i mean if that were me i wouldnt care if the rapist was Brock Lesnar id whoop his.... well maybe not Lesner but if it were some normal sized non-gorilla type person their durability would mean sh!t here

well, to be fair, a grand jury takes both time and money.
from my very brief reading of this on wiki, I think America is the only nation that still uses grand juries. up here, there is an evidentiary hearing which sort of acts as the same thing, only the person is first charged then appears in court. I think I like it better, though in a case like this it is hardly relevant.

With a jury of his peers, FROM TEXAS, there is no way they would get a conviction on him.

It's a "good ol' boy" system in many rural municipalities, in Texas. First hand experience. 😐
