An Alabama man who murdered his daughter's sexual abuser has accepted a 40-year prison sentence so she wouldn't have to testify in court. Julia Maynor told al.com that the sentence has brought back the pain of the abuse, which happened over four or five years, until she was about eight years old. He received 20 years for attempted murder on top of the 20 years he received for Brooks' death. "(Brooks) took my innocence away and only served like 18 months, and now I suffer daily from what Raymond did to me," she said. Ms Maynor waived her right to anonymity as a victim of sexual abuse after her father's sentencing.
