BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Attorneys for a television executive charged with stabbing and beheading his wife can introduce evidence of "battered spouse syndrome," a New York judge ruled.
Prosecutors in the case against Muzzammil Hassan said the decision by Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk would force them to ask for a delay in the trial in the February 2009 killing of Aasiya Zubair Hassan, The Buffalo News reported Saturday.
Muzzammil Hassan has been in custody since the body of his wife was found in the studio of Bridges TV, the Muslim-oriented cable station the couple had co-founded five years earlier.
District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said he was infuriated at being forced to seek another delay because of "psychiatric hide-and-seek" by the defense.
Hassan's defense team said they had not wanted a delay.
"We never wanted a postponement," Julie Atti Rogers said. "We never intended this case to get pushed out into the new year. That being said, we are happy ... to have his doctor testify regarding the evaluation that she did and the diagnosis that she made."
Ana Natasha Cervantes, a Buffalo forensic psychiatrist, and Kenneth Corvo, a Syracuse psychologist, are ready to testify Hassan suffered from "spousal abuse syndrome," Rogers said.
Another Zoroastrian horror!
Oh that will go over well in the muslim community, a pu$$y male muslim being abused by his Westernized wife. I guess it’s as a good a diversion as this scumbag’s attorney’s can come up with...but, where’s NOW screaming it’s feminist head off regarding this pig’s action of sawing his liberated wife’s head off?
Mennonite for the win!
Religion of Pieces, what a shock.
The whole religion is evil.

Just sayin'.
Get out of my country, you monsters.
Seroiusly.
GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!
Had to look it up! I’d forgotten.
“a monotheistic pre-Islamic religion of ancient Persia founded by Zoroaster in the 6th century bc.
According to the teachings of Zoroaster, the supreme god, named Ahura Mazda, created twin spirits, one of which chose truth and light, the other untruth and darkness. Later writings present a more dualistic cosmology in which the struggle is between Ahura Mazda (Ormazd) and the evil spirit Ahriman. The scriptures of Zoroastrianism are the Zend-Avesta. The language survives in isolated areas of Iran and in India, where its followers are known as Parsees.”
Get out of my country, you monsters.
Seriously.
GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!
Seriously, I do not understand why women knowingly convert to this religion of peace.....
Uh, let's see...submit or die...You don't suppose?

Amish?
I suppose if the Judge used the Shar’ia Law, the guy might be able to ‘walk;,
I want to say one more thing. Nothing is funny about this. This woman was killed. I put Amish down because it always seems to be the same types who are doing this.
