MAN GETS CONVICTED OF CHOPPING HIS WIFE'S HEAD OFF!

A Western New York man was convicted of beheading his wife after the jury deliberated for only an hour on Monday.

Muzzammil Hassan used hunting knives to kill his wife of nine years, Aasiya Hassan in February of 2009, six days after she filed for divorce.

The verdict came after a trial that featured Hassan defending himself and often going into long diatribes in his own defense.

While he never denied beheading his wife, Hassan claimed throughout the trial that he in fact was a battered spouse and had feared for his own life. In the middle of the two-week trial, he took the witness stand for four days, sputtering bizarre testimony about his marriage, according to the Buffalo News.

"All these people are hearing stories," he told the jury in closing arguments, the newspaper said. "They want you to believe stories are evidence. They have no witnesses."

Hassan told the unconvinced jurors that the prosecution based their case on lies spread by his wife during the last two years of their marriage. After an hour of his closing statement, the newspaper reported that jurors began looking restless.

The prosecution slammed his case saying that as soon as Hassan realized his wife was leaving him, he chose to kill her.

"Self defense? Not a chance, not even close," the prosectuor said. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is intentional murder beyond a reasonable doubt — quite frankly, beyond any doubt."
