A judge sentenced a Jordanian national to death for carrying out two "honor killings" in 2012 as part of a plot to allegedly kill his daughter and four others.
The judge handed down the death sentence to Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan, 60, after the jury delivered its verdict based on seven weeks of testimony, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Jurors convicted Irsan of capital murder after hearing about his wish to "wash his honor in blood" for killing his daughter's husband, Coty Beavers, 28, and Gelareh Bagherzadeh, 30, who was his daughter's best friend.
"Don't second guess yourselves," state District Judge Jan Krocker told jurors. "You listened attentively to every detail. It was the right verdict."
Prosecutors say Irsan carried out the killings to get back at his daughter for leaving home, becoming a Christian, and later marrying one.
"He wanted to kill her," prosecutor Jon Stephenson told jurors during his opening statements. "But he wanted to kill all those she loved first, so that she would suffer that much more before she died."
One of Irsan's daughters took the stand throughout the trial, testifying that 60-year-old Jordanian national praised Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks on American soil. She added that he told his children to volunteer as suicide bombers. ...
Yeah ... that's just what this country needs ... more mooslims ... right, clo?!
