#1 Not so fast.

"On a bitterly cold Sunday last November, 15-year-old Jamar Pinkney Jr. was beaten, forced to strip naked at gunpoint, and marched outside his home into an empty lot. As his mother and grandmother looked on, the teen knelt before his attacker and was shot execution-style in the face. The trigger was pulled by his own father, Jamar Pinkney Sr.

The State of Michigan contends the elder Pinkney made an ultimate choice that day, between his son and his daughter, deciding to end Jamar Jr.s life because of allegations hed sexually molested his three-year-old half-sister.

The alleged sexual contact came to light that Saturday, when the three-year-old described to family members what she claimed her half-brother had done to her. She was rushed to the emergency room, but an examination there revealed no signs of assault, and Jamar Jr. emphatically denied having touched her inappropriately. Still, her parents were convinced something had happened; the young girl would not have come up with such ideas on her own.

At 1:30 a.m. that night, the teen woke his mother to make a confession; I did it. She put him on the phone with his father to beg forgiveness but Jamar Sr. was furious and said simply hed come by the next morning to talk.

#3 counseling, send him out of the house, sure... but is murder appropriate?

#4 I doubt I'd have had the courage, but assuming the assertions about the son are true --- I'd have at least wanted to do the same thing.

#5 Hmm. All of a sudden, I can imagine second degree here. Heaven forbid, it would take me quite a while to come back to earth after getting news like that.
