An Alabama father who shot and killed his daughter’s sexual abuser pleaded guilty Monday and accepted a 40-year prison sentence in the hopes of sparing his daughter from having to relive the experience through a lengthy trial. Jay Maynor, 43, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the June 2014 killing of 59-year-old Raymond Earl Brooks. Brooks was a registered sex offender who was shot to death at his home in rural Cullman County, north of Birmingham. POLICE SEARCH FOR SUV IN RELATION TO JOGGER'S DEATHBrooks pleaded guilty in 2002 to sexually abusing Maynor's young daughter. Investigators said the father also shot at a man who had been dating his stepdaughter, but the man was able to hide inside a convenience store.
