After nearly five years, the Louisville Courier Journal reports, a Somali immigrant’s trial in the brutal murder of his children began this week. He also raped and beat his wife. So yet another Muslim immigrant "honor killed" yet again.   So brutal was the killing in Lousiville, Kentucky, on Oct. 6, 2006, that even a  hardened detective, the paper reported, choked up on the witness stand when she described the killing, which Said Biyad confessed to police. The cold-blooded killer does not dispute the facts. He claims he is crazy.

His task is to convince one person. Instead of a jury, Biyad’s fate hangs on whether a judge, presiding in a bench trial, will agree that his mental condition mitigates his guilt, which again, is not in doubt.
