The Denver Post reports that in September 2013, Owen’s then 4-year-old daughter told Owen that Rainey – whom the family knew – had molested her. Friends encouraged the Colorado woman to take her concerns to police. Instead, according to Jason Siers, the prosecutor in the case, she “engaged in misplaced, vigilante justice,” and took matters into her own hands.
On the night of the murder, Owen, who had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana with friends, took a Louisville Slugger baseball bat and found Rainey sleeping in an alley and viciously assaulted him with the bat. Prosecutors say the innocent man suffered six broken ribs, multiple cuts, a laceration to his liver, a shattered left testicle, and a skull fracture. He was taken to a hospital where he died a short time later.
That's the risk you take when you take the law into your own hands and let your emotions get the best of you. For what it's worth, her picture makes her look like a meth addict.
Would I do the same if I found my children were molested? Only if there was concrete proof. How do such accusations arise anyways while ending up being not true?

Easy. Either by "prompting" or "steering" the witness.

In her mind I'm sure she thought she had concrete proof too. It's not your right to decide guilt or innocence. Even if the person did what it is you think they did, you are still depriving them of their Constitutional right to due process.
Which is why all these self-defense (I've got a right to shoot anybody who does me wrong) people are just un-Amercan.

Exactly what I was going to write. Sad that an innocent man had to die because of a drunk and high loon whose daughter is a liar.
She has a long criminal history and serious mental health issues she was likely delusional, but regardless a lengthy term for her crime I think is appropriate I don't know the details of the crime so I won't comment on whether I think 38 years is fair. This case has nothing to do with molestation.
She should be locked up for the maximum, 48 years. This is not the first time she has viciously attacked someone. Rather than take her meds for bi-polar she gets drunk and high with friends (what kind of ****ty friends get drunk and high with someone who is bi-polar?). At least she won't breed in prison. I feel sorry for her daughter.
Do you think 38 years is a fair sentence for beating a homeless man to death with a baseball bat?
NO SHE DESERVES THE SAME TREATMENT!!!!!!!
