Which, amazingly, is not a good reason to behead your wife. Anywhere but especially in Western New York.
It took only an hour for a New York jury to find TV producer Muzzammil Hassan guilty of beheading his wife after she filed for divorce in 2009. Mr. Hassan, 46, murdered his wife with hunting knives in the very studio the couple had set up in 2004 to foster understanding of Muslim culture in the wake of 9/11, reports Reuters.
Prosecutors called the murder of Aasiya Hassan, 37, a "...final, brutal and fatal act of control and domination," and noted that the mother of two "...may well have been conscious when he began cutting off her head." During the trial, the jury watched surveillance footage of Mr. Hassan lying in wait for his wife at their Bridges TV offices in a Buffalo suburb as she brought him fresh laundry.
Mr. Hassan was found guilty of second-degree murder and faces 15 years to life in prison. During the trial, Mr. Hassan proved himself a fool by serving as his own lawyer and compounded his foolishness when he compared himself to Nelson Mandela, Ronald Reagan, and Mahatma Gandhi. He also claimed he felt threatened by his wife. "The prosecution has never asked the question 'Who started it?'" he said. "That is the core question that needs to be answered."
We may not know who started it but we know who finished it, and, frankly I am surprised he only got nailed with 2nd degree murder.
