Judge postpones pre-trial hearing for man accused in ‘honor killings’ of daughters, Yaser Said

(KTVT) Dallas Judge Chika Anyiam postponed the pre-trial hearing for Egyptian-born Yaser Said, 65, who’s accused of killing his teenage daughters, Amina and Sarah, on New Year’s Eve 2007.

After Judge Anyiam said the hearing wouldn’t start on June 30, Said asked if he could read from some handwritten papers he was holding. The judge then asked if he had discussed what he was going to say with his attorney. After a brief discussion, Said didn’t make any statements and was escorted out of the courtroom.
