A man brutally assaulted a 13-year-old girl at knifepoint, served just seven years, and was released back into the community on parole.
When María del Carmen García later crossed paths with him near her home, he had the audacity to look her in the eye and casually ask about her daughter.
That’s when something in her snapped. She bought gasoline, tracked him down at a bar, and took matters into her own hands.
Antonio Cosme later died in the hospital from severe burns, and María was arrested that same day.
When the system fails to deliver real justice, situations like this raise a hard question: what would you do if you were in her position?
