This is 1st degree murder, the premeditation has already been confessed by the defense.
The jury has very little to consider other then "life without parole" or "the death sentence".

You'd think this guy would happily accept a death sentence. He'd be dying while in devout service to Islam; I'm sure he just wants to kick back and watch the virgins roll in.

Guys like him? They want to be able to do this sort of thing and get APPLAUSE, not prison time.

Probably going to spout off about his religious rights...

Your an idiot dude lol

What's especially despicable about the father is that he fled the country after attacking his daughter. I might at least believe that his religious convictions were sincere if he had admitted responsibility at the outset and surrendered to authorities.

But he's really nothing but a craven POS who tried to run from his crime. I wonder what Iraqi cultural values celebrate hypocrisy and cowardice? Perhaps now he will learn a few things about American cultural values while rotting in prison for the crime of murder.

I think the guy should get LWP. The death sentance would be too quick a punishment,and also too "humane", plus,he'd be over the "pain" part of his conviction. Let him rot in prison,with a bunch of guys who actualy have morals about killing ones own daughter,,no matter what religion either of them have.

so wait he was able to get into mexico and get past mexican customs get to the UK then they just put a arab killer back on a plane? no arrest? no handcuffs?
Again I say if we had said no and stopped this so called human from getting into the us we would have far less problems. it shows how other races come here and want us to change for them. if they liked "the old ways" go back. Wake up white people!

no disrespect to the girl, but now we have to pay for his trial and his jail time and prison...that's just great, my son is an AZ correctional officer practically working on next to nothing to support his wife and 3 kids because AZ is so broke, but we have to pay to support this Arab creep-----deport him---AFTER we bankrupt him

How incredibly sad. Such a beautiful girl. How can someone justify killing at all much less because it upsets their sensibilities or traditions.... if you don't like it disown them. There is no excuse and it is such a waste of a precious life. This girl was still a baby. So be it if she was "married", it didn't seem like it was her idea and she obviously wasn't in love... now forcing someone to get married that is dishonorable. How can this man justify killing his CHILD for his "family honor"... your children should mean more than the world to you, more than anything else. This is America! We have so many freedoms but killing someone for any reason, be it religious purpose or because "honor" was offended, last I checked was not one of those freedoms and it is something that should not ever, ever be allowed. So sad and uncalled for. Poor, beautiful girl be at peace wherever you are.

Crimes at all do not surprise me anymore. What does surprise me is the naivete of humanities response to these crimes. These American Hating Islamics are nothing but Stupid, Lazy, Sheep. Sheep who follow but can never lead. Why do they hate. Their Countries have No Sports, No Holidays, No Fun, No Love. They are too lazy and Stupid to build up their own Countries. They let few control all of the wealth & power. There is nothing free in their Country except hatred. They are simply Jealous of our lives, plain and simple. This is why they hate. They hate us because they aint us ! Their is no Honor in anything these hate spewing cowards do. If possible I would kick this mans ass straight back to his Cesspool, Hate Spewing, Weak Minded Country.

It certainly doesn't amaze me anymore how ignorant people can be...but I want to comment anyways.

Instead of taking issue with the fact that a PERSON did this most of you are spewing ignorant shit about the fact that the man is islamic. As though, a regular white American man isn't capable of the same thing, as if we don't hear about this in regular, everyday, American news. Well we do! The fact that his reasoning for killing his daughter is "honour" and he subscribes to the Islamic faith doesn't make it any less heinous than when a white, Chinese, black, Latino man does it.

Oh and Donna N, this is hate (veiled): "These American Hating Islamics are nothing but Stupid, Lazy, Sheep. Sheep who follow but can never lead. Why do they hate.

This shows us all and especially the Departments of Law Engorcement around America.. Many , many people have imparted to you the seriousness of the situation known as " honor killing." I hope your blinders are now off? The inability of the entire judicial & court systems to LISTEN to the crys of the victims. It shows everyone that what used to be right is now wrong, that what used to be wrong is now right. America was based on biblical principles and the Ten Commandments nothing else. But Liberals have twisted it all around to where our children have no sense of obedience to authourity or laws. It is a shame we have come to this level. No our DLE's would rather arrest people for praying over a public lunch than stop or prevent violence in the family it is backwards.

The actions of this father are deplorable. What a waste of a beautiful life.

Why do these stories never mention the word "Muslim?" Catholic Iraqis do no commit honor killings.

iam a muslim girl . i feel so sorry about what happend to noor her dad should not killed her about his honor if he was to upsad about her he should leave her alone and never care about her if he was to upsad wat she done now what did he got he just last him self and his family

So what is he charged with? 1st degree murder? Second? Third? And why is the local press afraid to report it? Does everyone have a paranoid fear of these people from the ignorant religion?

I'm muslim man and i want to say that this act it's not allowed in islam and there is many ways that he can do it to stop her bad behavior much better then kill her
this man one of many who did not understand the real mean of islam plus islam in arabic mean PEACE
