Georgia Mother Sentenced to Life for Attempted Revenge on Daughter’s Abuser

The sentencing follows a failed attempt to confront the alleged abuser, leading to a fatal shootout not involving the intended target.

Danyale Harris, 42, was convicted of murder and other charges after a confrontation led to a fatal shooting, not involving the intended target.
The incident occurred after Harris discovered a video of her 12-year-old daughter being sexually abused by Antonio Harley, 22.
Harris, ignoring police advice, led a group to confront Harley, resulting in gunfire that killed Juan Newkirk, 19, a member of her group.
Harris was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, plus five years. Two others were charged in connection with the incident.
Antonio Harley survived and was charged with statutory rape, child molestation, and sexual exploitation of children. His case is pending.
