The Cherokee County woman who killed the man who raped her most likely will be able to take her daughter home with her, probably by next week.
First the mother has to complete a psychological evaluation.
"They want to make sure I am of no harm to myself or anyone else," the woman said Friday after a hearing in Juvenile Court in Cherokee County. She hopes to celebrate Christmas with family in Ohio.
I'm trying to figure out the logic here. I certainly hope she's a danger to murderous rapist monsters.
The youngster was in their rural Cherokee County home when her mother was raped. Authorities have said Gerald A. Lee, who was armed with a shotgun, broke into the house and raped the 38-year-old mother. A fierce battle between Lee and the woman began when he threatened to also rape her daughter. She stabbed Lee several times and was severely injured during the struggle.
Does anyone in Georgia have any more information on this? I thought Castle Doctrine and "Violent felons in your house are fair game" laws were the rule in your part of the world.
