A Texas man accused of gunning down his daughters before evading federal law enforcement for more than 12 years testified on Monday that he did not kill the girls.
Said testified for less than two hours on Monday, when prosecutors tried to poke holes in his claims.
A jury is expected to hear closing arguments on Tuesday, and panelists will be sequestered for the duration of deliberations. MARYLAND MAN ACCUSED OF KILLING, DISMEMBERING DAUGHTER, YEARS AFTER ALLEGEDLY MURDERED SON AND FRIENDA former police detective testified Thursday that the taxi in which the girls had been found had been lent to Yaser Said.of Lewisville and went to Oklahoma to get away from Said. Both sisters’ boyfriends also joined the three.
Owens, who spoke softly and often hesitantly on the stand, testified that Said eventually convinced her to return to Texas."I didn’t think anything would happen," she testified. A police report from after the girls’ death described that a family member told investigators that the suspect threatened"bodily harm″ against Sarah for going on a date with a non-Muslim. Owens fled with her daughters in the week before their deaths because she was in"great fear for her life." Gail Gattrell, the sisters’ great-aunt, has called the deaths an"honor killing," in which a woman is murdered by a relative to protect her family’s honor.
