(WFAA) On the first day of testimony, Yaser Said sat stoically as prosecutors painted a picture for the jury of a jealous and angry man who controlled his daughters’ lives.
“He controlled what they did, who they talked to, who they could be friends with and who they could date,” said Lauren Black, the prosecutor.
Prosecutors say Said killed Sarah and Amina because he was jealous and didn’t want them dating boys who were Americans.
“You’ll hear in this case that leading up to the murders of Amina Said and Sarah Said, the defendant’s behavior got extremely dangerous,” Black said.
Sarah’s boyfriend, Erik Panameno, testified they kept their relationship secret.
