“He left them laying in pools of their own blood,” Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Christie Foster said in her opening statement about Biyad, whose murder trial began on Monday in Jefferson Circuit Court.
Foster told Judge James Shake that Biyad “brutally” killed his four children — Goshany, Khadija, Fatuma and Sidi Ali, ages 2 through 8 — and raped and assaulted his wife before turning himself in at police headquarters and admitting what he had done.
If the guy turneed himself in at the police station how come it still takes 5 years to go to trial? Why even have a trial if he turned himself in? Perhaps he only turned himself in because he was expecting a slap on the wrist for the murders, as would happen in an Islamic country.
Biyad is not facing the death penalty through an agreement between defense and prosecutors and the maximum sentence he faces is life in prison.
What kind of agreement?
but, but..Sharia will never happen in the USA........

Honor Killing: a murder, usually of a female, committed to restore the social and political standing of a family or community when it is believed that the victim has violated traditional behavioral expectations. Such violations can include improper covering of the body, appearing in public without a male relative chaperone, talking to an unrelated male, or exhibiting independence in thought and action. An honor killing can also be based on hearsay or gossip that is perceived as damaging to a woman’s relatives.
These stories never cease to amaze me in anyway. And these people will never change what it is they know, in the name of their religion, killing is acceptable, and just talk it away, as if the person had no meaning what so ever.
