Since the sheriff says the evidence does not support a case, why is the DA even referring it to a grand jury?
Just the same, I imagine any grand jury in Texas will no-bill the case. The man deserves high praise, not legal entanglements.

The man who was beaten to death by a Texas dad for allegedly molesting his 5-year-old daughter has been identified by authorities.
Previous news reports had identified the girl as a 4-year-old, but her age was corrected by Lavaca County authorities in a press release Friday, obtained by the Victoria Advocate.
Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon said that the 23-year-old father killed Jesus Mora Flores, 47, from Gonzales, Texas. The sheriff said Flores was not in the U.S. illegally and was in possession of a green card also known as a permanent resident card. Investigators have been working with Mexican Consulate officials to locate his family, the news release revealed.

Harmon previously indicated that it is unlikely that the father, who has not been identified to protect his daughter, will face any criminal charges. It seems even less likely in light of some new details that have been released.
The June 9 killing reportedly occurred in Mt. Olive near a barn where some horses were being kept. The adults were shoeing a horse while the little girl and her brother went to feed chickens, KPRC in Houston reports.

He will never be indicted, but if he were, no Texas Jury will convict him.
Interestingly, under the Texas "Self Defense Laws", had he shot the abuser there would be no question of his innocence. Because he used his hands that law technically does not apply.
The verdict of the police? Temporary insanity.
will definitely defend their child ..
especially in cases where the MONSTER is preying on the child ...
What an awful thing to happen to this young family, i hope the little girl is OK.
