cancel all of its flights through tuesday. the airline based in florida says it will refund or credit affected passengers. pilots say they are striking because of low pay and they had been in contract negotiations for more than three years. a desperate plea tonight from the family and supporters of aaron vargas. he is the man who is going to be sentenced as early tomorrow for killing a man who vargas says molested him. now, dozens of other people say they, too, were violated by the victim, darren mcneil. among those asking that vargas receive no jail time is the wife of the man he killed. mindy is aaron vargas s sister. she is spearheading the effort to save vargas from a prison cell. mindy, you understand some would say that what your brother is did is vigilante justice and he should be punished for that. what s your response? i don t think it s vigilante justice at all. i think it s really a case of somebody defending himself and his family when the system
failed to protect them. who else is asking that the judge not sentence your brother to prison time? there are thousands of people from around the world asking that aaron be released, be allowed to be given treatment. we have a photo of dar.mcneil and mindy what did he do to your brother and why was he never arrested. well, he started raping aaron at the age of 11 and he was reported to the police at least three times that we with know of. and i m not sure why law enforcement failed to bring charges against him or even investigate him. they never even questioned him. and aaron s case just shows that the system all too often fails to protect our children. how is your brother feeling this week? i think he is really nervous. we all r i can t imagine him surviving years in prize in. it s just it s not gonna heal him, that s for sure and healing
knows aaron and she loves him and she knows him to be a kind and gentle person and that she wants him to get help. that says a lot. mindy galliani, thank you so much for that aaron vargas sister and he is a man accused of killing another man who molested him as a child because he didn t want him to go on and molest other children it will be interesting to watch this case. best of luck to you, okay? thank you. all right. if is one of those tough lessons that you learn only after you have been caught, the dangers of an open microphone. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 i thought investment firms were there
is really what he needs at this point. why did all of a sudden, why exactly did aaron kill him? did he ever explain that to you did something specific spur him on? well, he was abowsed or 20 year, stopped and harassed even after the sexual abuse ended. darryl mcneil was coming around and off attorney general babysit aaron s new daughter, bringing diapers, asking to see her. so aaron felt that his child was in danger. aaron knew that darryl was still raping other kids in the community. and he had learned about that in the days prior to the shooting. so, i think it was just a lot of events that just transpired and it just he hit his breaking point is what happened. he had just he said enough is enough. so, it wasn t just it wasn t years that had passed that this happened and aaron felt he had to do something, that other people would fall victim to this man? no. no. it is not a case at all where
he will thank will send a message they will go out and kill their abuser. they are missing the point of this case that is not how the victims feel. are you speaking to attorney there is, can you give us some idea of your brother s chances? well, aaron we did hire an attorney to defend aaron and he could get anywhere from prohibition to ten years in prison. and i m just hoping that the judge will do the right thing and that he will see the truth in this. and also, that the judge will ignore the sheriff s department and the probation department, who have made outrageous accusations by saying that the abuse was a consensual relationship and that the shooting was some kind of a lover s quarrel. it s just it s outrageous to me. how much has it played into the wife of the man he killed is saying is asking for leniency? i think that has a big effect, you know? that the wife is stepping forward and saying that she
