The Buffalo News writes a most disgusting article about the TV producer Muzzammil Hassan who beheaded his wife in which they portray him as the victim instead of his wife (Hat tip: Jihad Watch):

Under arrest in his wife’s brutal death, Muzzammil Hassan is “almost in shock,” his attorney said Wednesday following a court appearance in Orchard Park.

“He’s having difficulty coping with this,” attorney James Harrington said.

And we're supposed to care about him? His lawyer is a disgusting lot too, IMO.

Hassan, 44, appeared briefly in the Orchard Park courtroom Wednesday for the first official proceeding since he was arrested last week and charged with seconddegree murder. His wife, Aasiya, was found beheaded at the office of their business in the Village of Orchard Park.

Tall and stout in a tan suit, he was led into the courtroom in handcuffs, blinking through his glasses at the approximately two dozen people gathered....

“If and when he’s indicted, he’ll plead not guilty,” said Harrington, adding, “It’s too early to know what approach we’ll take, but we’re exploring everything.”

That shouldn't be too surprising, if he shows no remorse over the murder of his wife.

Assistant District Attorney Colleen Curtin Gable said her office would seek an indictment against Hassan within 45 days on a charge of second degree murder. The first-degree charge is reserved for special circumstances, including torture or the death of police.

Conviction on second-degree murder carries penalties ranging from 15 years to life in prison, to 25 years to life, she said.

This is the part that's very seriously appalling, that the vermin wasn't charged with first-degree murder, especially considering just how graphic his actions were.

Harrington said that a history of domestic violence will be part of the case.

“They had their problems,” he said.

Orchard Park police said they had been called to the couple’s home on Big Tree Road because of domestic disputes previously. The most recent occasion was Feb. 6, the day Aasiya Hassan filed for divorce and obtained an order of protection barring Muzzammil Hassan from the house.

Although Hassan told police where to find his wife’s body, he has not confessed, Harrington said. Hassan went to Police Headquarters last Thursday evening and said his wife was dead at their business office, a Muslim-oriented television channel on Thorn Avenue.

It sounds like they're trying to portray even that in trivial terms.

Harrington rejected a connection between the beheading of Aasiya Hassan and the couple’s Muslim religion and culture.

“No, it does not [have any bearing],” he said, adding, “I think the media is doing a very great disservice to the Muslim community.”

I suggest you look carefully at the article written by the interviewing paper, cretin. They certainly aren't doing any "disservice".

The brutal nature of the crime has raised questions about whether it was a so-called “honor killing,” a possibility that the district attorney’s office is investigating. Harrington called questions about the extreme violence of the act inappropriate.

Advocates for women — some of them Muslims — have called for the community to acknowledge religious and cultural traditions that stigmatize divorce and heighten the danger of violence in divorce cases.

Well at least that's good to hear. But look at how they obligatorily use the phrase "so-called", although worse descriptions are needed in cases like these. Come to think of it, even saying that some women's advocates include Muslims is pretty morally equivalent too.

Newsbusters notes how, in contrast to how the MSM have dealt with the case of beheading of Aasiya Hassan, they reported almost instantly on the case of a Catholic priest who was falsely accused of child abuse 6 years ago.
