#2 His defense will be "the Koran told him to do it".

#3 It will be interesting to see who lines up in support, who claims mitigating circumstances, who opposes the DP.

... the Almalekis moved to Peoria from Iraq in the mid-1990s.Faleh Almaleki was upset that his daughter had become too "Westernized," had failed to live by traditional Muslim values and had disrespected the family.

So they immigrate into a Western country out of their own volition and yet the notion of becoming "Westernized" is driving them into murderous rage.

Something doesn't make sense here.

#5 So, he will spend decades on death row supported by millions in CAIR and ACLU legal funds.

#6 don't count on AZ going for the death penalty here

- not completely premeditated
- intent may have been only injury

AZ may go for a 50+ year sentence instead

#7 He may not get the death penalty, but there's always the chance of some prisoners taking a disliking to him. Somebody in there for the rest of his life might take him out over something. Afterall, he's not "Westernized" alot.

#8 Depends on the make-up of the jury. Under certain circumstances, I can see him getting off with manslaughter.

#9 If he gets off on manslaughter, which I hope is doubtful, will he feel compelled to run over other muslim immigrants if he feels they too have strayed from his cherished traditional values?

#10 Almaleki went to Mexico. He eventually flew to London, but United Kingdom Port of Entry authorities denied him entry into the country. They contacted U.S. authorities and Almaleki was put on a flight back to Atlanta, where he was arrested.

Mr. Alamlecki got into his car, ran over his daughter and hit her boyfriend's mother, hard enough to break her arm if I recall correctly. Then he fled the country and attempted to flee the continent. I suspect he'll get more than a slap on the wrist.

#11 Not a lawyer, but don't you get felony murder if someone dies as a result of your dangerous behavior? I'd bet he was charged with aggravated assault so there were no problems getting him extradited. Some countries are fussy about the risk of the death penalty.

Personally, I'd give him 3-5 just for the irony of using an SUV to run down his daughter for being too Westernized.

#12 Funny that he went _from_ Mexico to the UK.

#13 He was returned to the Phoenix-area city of Peoria, booked and taken to a county jail.

Peoria is in Maricopa County. That's Sheriff Joe Arpaio's jail. Heh, heh, heh.

#14 Several comments from Arizonans indicate that it was no business of the federals to tell us we couldn't hang such scum, and second, Joe Arpaio shouldn't be too hard on his jailers if they don't keep too close a suicide watch on this bird and he hangs himself in his cell.
