Jury Convicts New York TV Executive of Beheading Wife

Jury Convicts New York TV Executive of Beheading Wife | Fox News:
"BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The founder of a Muslim-oriented New York television station was convicted Monday of beheading his wife in 2009 in the studio the couple had opened to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims after the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan never denied that he killed Aasiya Hassan inside the suburban Buffalo station the couple established to promote cultural understanding.
A jury deliberated for one hour before rejecting his claim that the killing was justified because he was long abused by and afraid of his wife.
Hassan, who's stocky and more than 6 feet tall, acted as his own lawyer during the trial. He said nothing when the verdict was read.
His reaction was blocked from view by a line of sheriff's deputies and court officers standing behind him at the defense table.
The Pakistan-born Hassan, 46, had been served with divorce papers a week before his wife's body was found at the offices of Bridges TV in Orchard Park, where the couple also lived. "
