The father who hunts down and kills his daughter's abuser is the world's most sympathetic defendant. No jury, as the expression goes, would convict. Compare him with Geneva's father....

“She’s overreacting,” he said. “She just got touched by a couple of drunk people.” When he did reach Erickson, he told her he felt betrayed: Why hadn’t his daughter told him? Why had she waited so long to talk about it, and why to the entire state?

His principal concern? Potentially unfavorable public opinion of him (clearly deserved).
