A barbaric act that should be recognized as such
Reader comment on item: Bridges TV, a Wife's Beheading, and Honor Murder
Submitted by salkey (United States), May 21, 2012 at 22:19
The really awful take away from this sordid and demented story is that the man tried to plead insanity. He tried to get off and plead that he was nuts when he was chronically abusing, threatening and forcing her to adhere to Islamic customs. These acts are committed all over the ME and the husbands or brothers get off on special honor killing shortened sentences
