A Michigan father, Jamar Pinkney Sr, 37, is accused of killing his son after learning the 15-year-old teen may have sexually abused a 3-year-old toddler. The father played both judge, jury and executioner in this bizarre real life story.

Jamar Pinkney Sr was enraged after learning his teen son Jamar Pinkney Jr. had, “inappropriate contact” with a 3-year-old girl. Allegedly the father made his son strip at gunpoint and then shot him to death. A witness reported that both his son and wife pleaded with him to stop.

Authorities in Michigan filed a first-degree murder charge on Wednesday against Jamar Pinkney Sr.

Corbett O’Meara, the Defense attorney said:

“If something were to happen that would cause a reasonable person to lose control of himself, that is something the prosecution would have to take into account,”

Judge Brigette Officer entered a not guilty plea for Pinkney and ordered him jailed without bond until a preliminary examination Dec. 1.

The boy’s mother, Lazette Cherry, told the Detroit Free Press that her son told her he had improper sexual contact with the girl.

“I called and told his father. This isn’t something you sweep under the rug,” she said.

Police Chief Ted Caldwell said: “This is something that’s hard to deal with for all the parties concerned, including the police,”
