The supreme court in Georgia has upheld the sentence given to another Islamisogynist:
ATLANTA — The Supreme Court of Georgia has upheld the malice murder conviction and life prison sentence of a Georgia man accused of killing his daughter in a so-called “honor killing.”Anyone who commits violent murders like that over peanuts deserves no privacy, and no more future.
Prosecutors say Pakistani native Chaudry Rashid said he killed his daughter after she disgraced the family.
Rashid was accused of strangling 25-year-old Sandeela Kanwal during the summer of 2008 in Clayton County because she planned to divorce her husband from an arranged marriage.
A jury convicted Rashid in May 2011 on murder and assault charges.
Rashid appealed the decision to the state Supreme Court, saying jurors shouldn’t have been allowed to see a video of him describing the killing to relatives. The justices disagreed in a unanimous decision, ruling that he had no expectation of privacy during the conversation at a police station.
