Buffalo ny .Muzzammil Hassan gets 25 to life for beheading wife, Aasiya Hassan

A Buffalo man got 25 years to life Wednesday for beheading his wife in 2009.

Muzzammil Hassan was convicted in February of the monstrous murder of his spouse, Aasiya Hassan. It took the jury less than an hour to find him guilty of second-degree murder.

The life sentence was accompanied by an order of protection to prevent the killer from contacting his two children.

"The defendant viciously killed ... and desecrated [his wife's] body because six days earlier she had dared to file for divorce," Assistant District Attorney Paul Bonanno said.

The 46-year-old lured his wife to the television studio where the couple worked on Feb. 12, 2009. He then attacked her with a pair of hunting knives, stabbed her 40 times, then severed her head.

Muzzammil Hassan's children testified during the trial that their father had been violent toward their stepmother in the past. No charges were ever brought over the abuse, despite several domestic violence calls to 911, police said.

The husband claimed as his defense that his wife was abusive toward him and that his actions were justified, claiming he suffered from battered spouse syndrome.

"The prosecution has never asked, who started it?" the killer said during his trial, WIVB 4 News in Buffalo reported. "They never asked the question, who started it? That is the core question that needs to be answered."

Muzzammil Hassan founded Bridge TV in 2004. The American-Islamic station was designed to combat the negative stereotype of Muslims post-9/11. His wife was its general manager.

Had he used a gun instead, he could have gotten away with involuntary manslaughter. 10 years, out in 5 with good conduct, with a first class lawyer paid by the NRA.

If he had been black he could have received a suspended sentence . what did that fellow get in Columbus

Abdul-Rasheed had previously been convicted of felonious assault in Cuyahoga County for stabbing a man in 1995. He received a suspended sentence of five to 10 years and was put on probation.

Or perhaps an over compensation of 'being sensitive' to muslim sharia law. If so, yet another pathetic example.

[JohnR! 5,495]

To be sure, we are blessed to live in a country where only those who follow sharia law display physically abusive behavior towards their spouses.

Murkha!

Homeplace violence somehow caused by conservatives.

My wife and son is Muslim, not to mention the several folks who practice their faith without incident. I did my paperwork just like anyone else.

Wow, looks like the extremists are winning. All this talk about killing Muslims and denying visas. Wonder how long before more innocent blood will be spilled in the quest for "righteous".

[JohnR! 5,495]

Obviously the other poster was not referring to you.

S/he was referring to those carrying Muslim passports, you know, from Mulikistan, who emigrated to countries were visas are 'given'. Perhaps there are some countries that give visas to citizens of Mulikistan.

Your profile shows your spouse as being from Malaysia, therefore it's safe to assume the has a Malaysian passport, and is emigrating to the US, where visas are not given, but rather applied for and granted, after satisfying the USCIS conditions for each individual.

:rofl:

Gross, tacky and bigoted. Is that really how you want to start your day?

[JohnR! 5,495]

Not really, unless your family has Muslim passports, which I doubt to be their case...

:thumbs:

You left out misinformed and nonfactual...

If there's really anything to get indignant about, it's how commonplace domestic violence is. But whatever, it's all Durkadurkastan around here, all the time.
