MURRIETA, Calif. – A self-proclaimed polygamist was sentenced Friday to seven consecutive life prison terms for torturing seven of his 19 children, abusing four others and imprisoning two of his three wives.

Mansa Musa Muhummed, 55, also was sentenced to additional terms totaling 16 years and eight months by Riverside County Superior Court Judge F. Paul Dickerson III, who said Muhummed's treatment of his family amounted to "a reign of terror over defenseless children."

"If his appeals are exhausted and he does not prevail, he will die in prison," said Peter Morreale, Muhummed's attorney.

Muhummed was convicted in June of 25 counts, including torture, child endangerment, false imprisonment and corporal injury on a spouse.

At his trial, several of Muhummed's children and stepchildren testified against him, telling jurors they had been beaten, starved, strung up by their feet and forced to eat vomit and feces.

A "moderate" American Muslim has just beheaded his wife in Orchard Park New York. Now we have an American Muslim in California that has been convicted of brutally abusing his wife and children. Now I am sure that he was deranged before he converted to Islam and would of acted like this anyway, but how this relates to Islam is that he was also convicted of polygamy, as he said that Islamic law allowed him to have more than one wife. We are heading towards the day where Muslims across the world will say that Islamic laws are higher than our man made laws. That is when it will really hit the fan across the West.

Keep this creep in solitary.Otherwise he will convert some of the simpleminded to Islam.

“If his appeals are exhausted and he does not prevail, he will die in prison,”

THe dude says this like it is a bad thing thing. Locking up a monster is what jails are all about - or used to be anyway...

Something good and lasting by this way comes.

He’s where he should be.

...torturing seven of his 19 children, abusing four others and imprisoning two of his three wives.

“a reign of terror over defenseless children.”

...torture, child endangerment, false imprisonment and corporal injury on a spouse.

Isn’t this all protected under the first amendment applied to Islam? The clause “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” comes to mind.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

After they convert, they become very fervent practitioners of death-cult-ism. Obviously their “religious” leaders are telling them that it’s OK to abuse their children and to strap bombs around their waists.
A rational country would expel all the members of the Cult of Death.

"If his appeals are exhausted and he does not prevail, he will die in prison," said Peter Morreale, Muhummed's attorney.

And this is a bad thing, unless he slowly rots for about 75 years while dying...and treated like a goat.

Instead, he should be treated to his beloved Sharia's 'equalivilent treatment' type of punishment...or just be slowly impaled, Vlad style.

He was arrested in 1999 after one of his wives slipped a 13-page letter to a postal service worker describing the abuse. [snip]

Sentencing came nearly a decade after Muhummed's arrest. His trial followed nine years of delays in which he represented himself and changed lawyers multiple times. Earlier Friday, he sought to have his attorney removed and filed a motion for a new trial, claiming he had new evidence to help clear his name, but the judge denied the motions.

"Justice delayed is justice denied."

If he wasn't alreeady getting multiple consecutive life wnetences, I would advocate for an obstruction of justice charge or three against him.
