Muslim immigrant 'enraged when his daughter converted to Christianity after marrying an American' is sentenced to death for 'honor killings' of son-in-law and daughter's friend

The Daily Mail reports:
A Muslim immigrant from Jordan who prosecutors say was enraged when his daughter converted to Christianity after marrying an American was sentenced to death by a Texas jury on Tuesday after being convicted in 'honor killings' of his son-in-law and his daughter's friend.

Ali Mahwood-Awad Irsan was found guilty of capital murder last month in the 2012 fatal shootings of his son-in-law, Coty Beavers, and his daughter's best friend, Gelareh Bagherzadeh.

Jurors in Houston deliberated for just 35 minutes - after five weeks of testimony - before reaching the verdict , and the sentencing phase of the trial took another two weeks.
