PSYCHO AZ. HONOR KILLING FATHER GUILTY

Tragic

A FATHER who brutally mowed down his daughter because she was: "too westernized" has been found guilty of second degree murder.
Furious Iraqi immigrant Faleh Almaleki felt that his stunning daughter Noor had brought dishonor on his family by having a boyfriend and living in a more western way.
So in a fit of anger he smashed his Jeep Cherokee into the 20-year-old, clipping her boyfriend's mother Amal Khalaf at the same time.   
Defense lawyers called Noor Almaleki's death and Amal Khalaf's injury an accident adding that he was only trying to spit on the older woman, but they called no witnesses to try and exonerate him.  But Peoria, Ariz. detective Christopher Boughey testified that Faleh Almaleki confessed to him during a lengthy interrogation that he did in fact intend to cause his daughter's death
and prosecutors played a tape of him admitting his crime.
Speaking after the case prosecutors said the only positive from her death was that Noor Almaleki's story set off a firestorm of "honor killing" outrage at the time and raised awareness of the rare practice within the United States.
