Vedict reached on Naveed Haq in Seattle
Joel Mowbray tells Power Line that the current jury in the trial of the murderer Naveed Haq has convicted him of his crimes against a Jewish center in Seattle:
Seattle - A King County jury on Tuesday found Naveed Haq guilty of aggravated first-degree murder in the 2006 shootings at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, a verdict that carries an automatic life sentence.He should be handed the death sentence to boot. If he's to go to prison for life, he should at least be put in isolation.
After hearing seven weeks of testimony, the jury also found Haq guilty of five counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of unlawful imprisonment and one count of malicious harassment, the state's hate-crime law.
Haq opened fire in the center's offices, killing Pamela Waechter, 58. Several of the shooting victims who were in the courtroom hugged tearfully when the verdicts were announced.
