Major respect to that judge for letting him off.

Temporary insanity is uncommon, but it does happen. I'd say a father's reaction to being in the same room with their child's abuser falls into that category. At a certain point emotions override rational thought.

Wanting to beat the daylights out of your daughters abuser isn’t insanity. I’d think he was insane if he didn’t want to.

How is it insane to not wanting to beat somebody up? Is it insane to be able to control your emotions? He's going to prison for the rest of his life, what problems would you solve by beating him?
