Summary
This wasn't a hypothetical threat. This wasn't a father acting on old anger. This was a kidnapping in progress — by the same man who had already violated his child once and was facing decades in prison if she testified against him. Spencer's daughter was the primary witness. Fosler had every reason to want her gone.
Spencer pursued Fosler for 20 minutes. Prosecutors say he should have called 911. But Spencer says he was driving at high speed on dark roads trying not to lose sight of the truck carrying his daughter. When he finally forced Fosler off the road, his daughter tried to escape. Fosler allegedly grabbed her. Then Fosler allegedly came at Spencer. That's when Spencer used force.
Arkansas law is clear — you are allowed to use deadly force to protect another person from imminent serious harm. Spencer wasn't hunting anyone. He was responding to an active crisis involving his own child and a known predator who had already demonstrated what he was willing to do.
Legal experts say this isn't about jury nullification. The defense doesn't need a sympathetic jury to ignore the law. Arkansas law itself provides a path to acquittal. The question is whether Spencer's actions fit the legal definition of justified defense of another — and everything about this case says they do.

| 1:24.9 | Daughter kidnapped by man who's already charged with how got an awful amount |
