At least the court found this despicable piece of drek guilty.... But if only Shariah law was in effect then the man would have been without any guilt because his victim {his wife} was not acting a a good muslim hand-maiden.
PS: Its another Hassan... {the Fort Hood massacre muslim is also named Hassan}.... Can with think of another Hussein? Maybe the Hussain in the Oval Office? When will he get SJS {Sudden Jihad Syndrome}?

Defendant Is Silent On Verdict; Faces maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan must have harbored hope until the bitter end.
It was impossible to see him when the verdict was read because a row of four deputies stood directly behind him, obscuring him from the courtroom gallery, and he didn't bother to stand for the verdict.
But for once, he was silent when he was expected to speak.
Shortly after the jury found Hassan guilty of second-degree murder, Erie County Judge Thomas Franczyk asked both the prosecution and defense if they would like to hear a roll-call vote from the jury.
Chief prosecutor Colleen Curtin Gable said it wasn't necessary. Then Franczyk asked Hassan his preference. Seconds ticked by with no word from the defendant as the judge continued to look at him.
Finally, Hassan quietly asked for the roll-call vote. The outcome was the same.
In just under an hour, a jury of eight men and four women found Hassan guilty of intentionally and viciously murdering and beheading his wife, Aasiya, almost two years ago to the day.
The verdict came so quickly that Curtin Gable later said she didn't know if she had ever had a trial in her career where a jury rendered a speedier verdict.
"It would certainly be one of the fastest, if not the fastest," she said.
Hassan will be sentenced March 9 and faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life.
"Murder in the second degree is a really, really, really serious charge," District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said after the trial. "Most people that get convicted of murder in the second degree die in prison."
Hassan could not be sentenced to life without parole, a sentence exclusive to a first-degree murder charge, typically reserved for cop killers and similarly aggravated circumstances, he said. Premeditated murder is not a condition for any homicide charge in New York.
Jeremy Schwartz, who started the case as Hassan's defense lawyer and ended it as his adviser when Hassan chose to represent himself, said any decision about an appeal will be made after sentencing.
Sedita said Hassan showed "an incredible lack of self-awareness" throughout the trial because he called defense witnesses who were extremely helpful to the prosecution yet didn't seem to realize it.
That same lack of self-awareness may have accounted for his reaction, one of stunned disappointment as he was ultimately handcuffed and led away by sheriff's deputies.
"In his twisted mind, he really believes what he did was justified," Sedita said. "That's chilling."
The jury reached its verdict after 14 days of testimony and arguments spread over the course of three weeks in Erie County Court.
