Why the mom was not charge ? I heard her testimony on the stand and she didn't help at all. She remembers everything about her daughters relationships, and the plan they had to run away but she doesn't remember the reasons why they wanted to run away ? Not that her testimony was of any help but, the monster telling his "truth" on the stand did it for him. 12 years to think of a "credible" lie and that's the BS he came out with? Justice it's coming, lock him up.
The mom is one of those desperate women do anything to keep a man including not protecting her daughters I believe she was sick in her head and jealous of the girls!!!! I’ve watched everything available on this years ago the mom is more of a loser than he is almost!!!!! She buried them in Muslim cemetery she was pure evil just like the dad !!!!!!! God will get them both believe that!!!!!!!🥲💔🙏
The mother needs to be charged as well. She knew his "customs," and his way of thinking. You don't marry a man from another country, and not eventually figure out their belief systems. Just heartbreaking! Poor baby told 911 "My father shot me, and I am dying." What else do we need?
The mom was a victim herself. He's a pedophile who groomed her at the age of 12-13 yrs old and married her when she was 14!! She had her first baby at 16. She had NO idea what their customs were at that age. As a survivor of an abusive controlling Middle Eastern man. They treat you like a Queen, you fall in love and marry. The first 6 months or so go wonderful, then little by little they become this evil, angry possessive person who has no problem hitting you, threatening that they'll kill you and your family. And blame you for everything they do to you. That's called Gaslighting. Thank God I had a Christian friend that was from the Middle East and he helped me get out of this terrifying relationship.
She was totally under his control and was terrified of what he would do if he found them or members of his family. She's been told over and over that if she ever leaves him he will kill her and take the kids to Egypt.
She was 14 when she met him. He was 29. Her parents married her off only 3 weeks after she met him. She was 15 the first baby. She was still a teenager by the time she had 3 babies. If anyone should be charged along side yaser, it's Patricia's parents. She ran away, he threatened to kill her parents, her and the girls. Do you really think her parents didn't convince her to "make nice" with yasir. She had no money no where to hide. How lucky for you to have never been in a situation like this. I know this fear. I lived it with my mom. My dad would have killed us all. Himself included before he let her go. Family tells you, there's no other way, stop making him so mad. Imagine, having the fear and anxiety of so many lives in danger (because you left) not why you left, but because. I do not blame this woman. I pity her. Her life has been a living hell. She lost all 3 of her children, which were all she had. Even her own son left her. He is so brainwashed. Poor woman is so medicated now, she can barely form a complete sentence. I do not blame her not one bit! Rip Amina and Sarah. Those poor girls only knew fear. Their only value their father held for them was to hopefully marry them off to a rich family.
HOW did he find a Christian American child bride in texas??? I'm deeply puzzled by how that deal must have been set up between him and the parents of his wife. Just... how and why did the US parents even have the opportunity to sell their kid off to a man coming from Egypt??? Strange
Crime in USA, USA consequences. I remember this documentary years ago. The sadness and grief I felt for the boyfriend was immeasurable. They wanted to marry. I will never forget the bird that was in a cage, that he set free. He said it was like her being set free of her father's imprisonment. Truly made me cry. I pray he gets what is coming to him.
It breaks my heart that every member of the family failed these girls. The “father” murdered his girls, the egg donor brought them back to him time and time again even after they accused him of sexually abusing them, and the brothers helped him evade police for years
@@raysha9932 I know right? The mother blew up Amina’s phone trying to convince her to come home, and wouldn’t let up. Like why would you do that if any part of you thought he would kill your girls? I wish they’d prosecute the mom too. The girls accused him of sexually abusing them and this idiotic woman claimed he only abused her.
@@NoName-mi8bm yeah she literally tricked them and Amina knew what was going to happen. I can’t imagine how helpless she and her sister must have felt because they were minors after all.
Yes!! If you listen right around 9:00 you can hear him answer his interpreter in perfect English! Also, he almost messes up several times and starts to answer before the interpreter even repeats the questions to him..
nope.... although we all know it is an act, do not give him ANY reason to appeal. He could later come back and say English is not his 1st language and his misunderstood something.... let him keep that interpreter.
I've been watching this trial, and I've seen NO signs of remorse from him regarding the very fact that his daughters are dead. All I see when I look at him, is a person who was angry because he couldn't control his daughters...he couldn't make them do what he wanted them to do. And so, he lied to them, saying he's gonna take them out to "Denny's". No...he took them to a secret place and shot them! He KILLED THEM!!!
He totally understands English. When the prosecutor objected to him as non responsive, he switched up his response immediately without guidance at 17:30
this made me sad when i first heard about the case years ago and that he was on the run if this was indeed an honor killing as he put it he wouldn't of been hiding like the coward bastard he is that is shameful thank god they found him now they can get the justice they deserve. rest in peace Amina and Sarah
He’s not Muslim. I’m not a Muslim but very well educated in religion. By definition he can not be a Muslim and will be sent to hell in the afterlife. There is no such thing as honor killing of your children. The only time you could potentially kill your child is if that child attempts to harm/kill another family member or sibling. For dating someone, you can punish them such as “grounding” or limiting what you offer them but killing them sends the father to hell
@@utcougar Don’t get me wrong: I want to be an ally. I was working at FedEx office in Plano, TX and this freshman came in to print her “notable contributions to science by Muslims” science fair project. It was fascinating. She was very proud of it. I exclaimed how impressed I was and gave her a smile. She hadn’t skimped on space at all. All info fit an 1/8th of the margins! Her mother smiled too. Then she said something that broke my heart: “See, we aren’t all bad.” At that moment, I could only imagine the horrible treatment she had gotten from her peers. I got choked up and tried to hide the fact my red Irish face had shown I was shedding tears. I threw in some photoshop background for free, because I wanted this girl to have a boost in confidence. I printed her project, and she thanked me repeatedly, so did her mom. She came back a month later to let me know she got second place. I was still proud of her. I honestly didn’t think she could ever win first, being that it’s Texas, and if you aren’t Christian, you’ll never win first. That’s just how society is down here. (I’m a gay atheist, btw, which is twice as bad as being non-Christian) I congratulated her, and she asked for a hug. I gave her a big hug, and started tearing up again. I told her that she always had an ally in one person, (she knew I was gay) and I wished her the best for the future. I think about that moment, often.
Those girls were beautiful , he is a monster, I'm tired of these honour killings happening. There have been many here in the U.K it's just so horrible . Women are nothing but possessions to these men. There mother should have done more for them too, she should have protected them!
He’s on the stand ? 😂😂😂😂 What an absolute narcissist who actually believes he can fool the jury !!!! He murdered those girls !! The daughter said so herself in her agony as she was dying! Pure narcissism!!
Honor crimes are actually completely disgraceful. It's a deep rooted cultural programming that attempts to justify jealousy and rage by blaming the victim and calling it "honor". Honor crimes are actually hate crimes.
The last question he understood completely what was asked. Even before the interpreter interpreted the question. You can see that he understands completely all the questions. SMH
He understands every word that is being said and he could reply to every question. Playing the me don't understand game is not going to save this MONSTER.
Agree. I also think he was trying anything and everything to cast doubt in the prosecutor's case. His objections and outburst were nothing more than a smoke screen & bought Yaser more time to think of a good answer
And yet he pursued an American girl when she was 14 and got her pregnant at 16 when he was over 30 years old. On top of everything he was filming his daughters making sexual remarks about their bodies and eyes in a weird manner that makes me think he SA them.
I wonder why she is not in jail though. As weird as it sounds he did ask her parents and they gladly let him marry her. And something tells me that she knew where he was hiding.
😦😦😦😦 - THANK YOU SO MUCH JURORS FOR KEEPING THIS SIMPLE AND NOT TURNING IT INTO A DEBACLE LIKE SO MANY CASES IN THE PAST. This story stayed with me for the whole 12 years and soon as it came up on my feed, I knew immediately the whole story and started celebrating right then and there. I thought this man went back to his country and they were never going to find him and that tore a hole in my heart just thinking about this being a great possibility. But today it is a hole that can now start to heal 12 years later thanks to you and the F.B.I. and anybody else who played a role in capturing this monster. R.I.P. young Angels They kept their promise.
Wait, I thought he could speak fluent English? Am I just completely wrong? Or, do defendants get to choose the language they're most comfortable with if they're multilingual??
Legal wise I’m not 100%, but I think it’s because some of our words can be understood as something else in another language. Especially in a trial where he may not of heard some of these words. I once worked with someone who spoke 3 languages and he sometimes mixed up words. 🤷🏼♀️
They have a right to their own language; I think he's just using his "immigrant persona" to look innocent and stupid; cause he can use the sympathy of others cause of xenophobia/islamophobia; but he doesn't realize people are smarter than that, honour killings do happen in certain cultures, and majority of muslims are against that, so he's not fooling anyone. He gets more agitated when the questions would check his lies under oath lol, so I'm sure he understands perfect english, he married an american too,he don't have control over the narrative anymore and he's furious 😆
You cannot live in another country and act as though you don"t live there and don't integrate with people it makes no sense. The man is not their father he is a monster.
Yaser Said spoke English very well on all those creepy video recordings. I bet he’s using a translator because it’ll give him a chance to think of the answer
It's really off putting the way these lawyers doing commentary are laughing, smiling and clapping. Nothing is funny about this case this man killed his two daughters and is playing dumb as if he doesn't know English and he's been her for forty years and had an American wife and kids who spoke English.
Patricia Said needs to face charges and be in prison. she had every bit of involvement as her husband for lying and setting them up. what a good mother!!!
My 6 year old grandson passed away in a single car accident the tie rod broke we went off the road hit a culvert and flipped the vehicle, this happened in 2018, to even bring it up I break down crying in the loss of his little life, I was the one driving the vehicle.. no emotions come out of this man when he's speaking about his daughters,..yes he has lots of video of his daughters, and he videos their butts, they slept in there Jeans, a lot of the videos where they are older it's evident they did not like him videoing them, Amina even told him in one video that he was sick and to stop videoing them,
What the heck is this? He’s answering the prosecutors questions directly to the interpreter before allowing her to interpret. He doesn’t need an interpreter, the judge shouldn’t have allowed this. I’ve see ESL people testify in court and they speak directly into the microphone, the interpreter is on the side. They don’t whisper together. This is ridiculous.
The mother or 'poor excuse for a mother' should also be behind bars. She was an accomplice and after watching the documentary she STILL defends him saying he loved his daughters. She allowed the abuse to continue and lead them to their death, absolute disgrace the pair of them.
I’ve always been confused to why Yaser Said ever even moved to the USA and married an American; who had three children born here. Yet didn’t want his daughters to be with an American? Make it make sense
He wanted to make money by selling his daughters to the highest paying pervert who could force his daughters into submission. He was happy to have girls he could sell. His sense of honor was disrupted when the girls didn't want to be sold. He was leaning on his culture in order to convenience himself, yet he didn't want to abide by his culture himself. He's a control freak.
Question: How is his testimony transcribed since he's whispering a lot of the time? I read in a comment that the interpreter did not translate everything he said. Could this be on purpose on the part of the defense?
What's interesting is that the court interpreter/translator is doing an awful job. Said stated he has political problems back in Egypt that he was fearful of. Meaning he has additional problems back home. The translator did not mention that. She is not fully and correctly doing her job. I hope there are others watching who has picked up on these serious errors and can alert the court. He is also being evasive and intentionally not answering the questions directly.
@Creekbank Therapy What does his issues back home have to do with anything. He is on trial for murdering his two daughters. Good if he has problems back home, means he couldn't/wouldn't run back there. If he is being evasive, she should leave out irrelevant information, no sympathy for him, he had none for his daughters. I don't believe he would have approved of boys from his culture either.
A translator should be fluent in languages they are translating. She isn’t fully translating what he is saying in Arabic and her English is broken. How is this permissible.
So much for his Muslims don't lie theory! The interpretor is suspect. She's changing his words and correcting him when he says something he shouldn't say!
I felt that at first but there are moments where you see her roll her eyes and look at the judge like she is fed up with his lack of answering the questions properly on purpose. She also huffs a couple of times at his responses
I sincerely hope this monster gets "what HE deserves in jail!" Did he not marry an American? Yet his daughters had to tow the line according to his wishes. He enjoys living in America along with his side of the family yet want to abide by his rules not the country he has adopted. Now he's 65 years old, will be taken care of in old age by basically free room and board for the rest of his life!
The Mother should have never brought them back to the home they all shared. He may get off with this simply over this being their actual culture in the country he was born in.
He won't get off. He knew he was in America and he certainly knew murder is against the law. That's why he ran. That's why he's telling his bs story now. And yes the mom should've been charged as an accomplice.
i can't even listen to this a year later- The fakeness like he don't know English wtf! the fact that the daughter made the call is all i needed to hear. HE is sick and there is a judgement day. Why run if you not guilty?
He has the nerve to say “if the police had done their job….” As if he was doing his job as a father when he “left” his girls. If we are to believe his tale.
This man is completely sick he's evil he's a contradictor of liar and got a lot of nerve to blame everybody for something that he did I'm so tired of these ones like this just admit the truth Allah seen everything you did..
uggg these "reporters" are making me sick with the astonished disbelief that the state is "pushing the boundaries". The man KILLED his not one but TWO daughters! They along with many civilians of not only this state but the country as a whole are pissed. Why do so called "reporters" not see that? what don't you try to act more like a human versus a yes man?
Tell me you're clueless about trial law without telling me. Hint: it's not about how you uggg feel.... He's now going to get an appeal for prosecutor violating the rules of hearsay.

@@suzieqmac2.0 Re-trials don't just happen "regardless of what happens in trials". It has everything to do with violations of fair trial rules and hearsay, and rights. Your comments are so childish. The reporters are discussing the laws and how the legal process works, not pandering to feelings of the mob. Let the grown-ups analyze the legal issues.
she's definitely not translating this correctly. His mannerisms are so angry and what she says he's saying doesn't seem to match? I don't know the language so I could be entirely off. regardless, everyone seems to be sure this guy did it.
She’s translating everything perfectly clear. He also understand the questions he’s being answered because he tries to answer before the translator tells him the question. He’s angry because she’s answering all the right questions
@Megan Hanley His dying daughter said, "My Dad shot me and I'm dying", That's why everyone thinks he did it. She said multiple times he was going to kill her (them). She was sure of it and he did.
I noticed several times when he had a hard time finding the appropriate words in "his language". He made a complete mockery of the courtroom, and should be held accountable for that. I feel sickened by this entire story.
I do wonder if placing an interpreter right next to a defendent/accused is something which aids or which harms a trial. Regardless of an interpreter's professionalism, e.g., an impartiality and ability to convey in as exact manner as is possible what they are interpreting to and from the client, it may be best to seat an interpreter near to/next to the court stenographer. The distance will also remove what appears to be a source of safety or an impression of an ally which the defendent may experience from an interpreter's nearness/presence. From what I can observe and due to their communicating in the defendent's native language, the defendent as well as the interpreter appear to be choosing what is shared to the judge, the prosecuters, and the jury. The interpreter and the defendent's words ought to word for word be conveyed directly and not in a Coles Notes/compressed manner. I am in awe of the patience that the prosecuters possess while navigating what is a challenging language buffer and the, what I think, added issue (for whatever that may be) of the defendent's proximity to the interpreter.
The interpreter can be amazingly talented and professional, but I actually think it makes him look vulnerable and weak. All of the videos he made of his daughters show him speaking English. He has a very thick accent, but he speaks it. He does not need that interpreter. Do you know whose decision it was to have the interpreter there? Did he ask for it or did they impose that on him?
@@Pollyanna_Nielsen "Do you know whose decision it was to have the interpreter there? Did he ask for it or did they impose that on him?" Sorry, I do not. And, you are right about the defendent's ability to speak and to understand English. At the very least and during one instance, the defendent corrected the interpreter's English response to a prosecutor's question.
28:25 Yaser is fighting with the clown muzzle that broke apart on his face. Very clean and "safe" 🤣 Way to turn the most serious trial to a clown circus that can't get take seriously 🤡🎪
The creep knew English when he was filming his daughters in their bedroom.I clearly remember wanting to vomit when he said oh very nice about his daughters body.
These poor innocent beautiful girls deserved better than this for a father. Imagine him denying his guilt when his daughter told 911 she'd been shot by her father. Perhaps the arrogance is because he thinks he did the right thing.

I lived it with my mom. My dad would have killed us all. Himself included before he let her go. Family tells you, there's no other way, stop making him so mad. Imagine, having the fear and anxiety of so many lives in danger (because you left) not why you left, but because. I do not blame this woman. I pity her. Her life has been a living hell. She lost all 3 of her children, which were all she had. Even her own son left her. He is so brainwashed. Poor woman is so medicated now, she can barely form a complete sentence. I do not blame her not one bit! Rip Amina and Sarah. Those poor girls only knew fear. Their only value their father held for them was to hopefully marry them off to a rich family.
HOW did he find a Christian American child bride in texas??? I'm deeply puzzled by how that deal must have been set up between him and the parents of his wife. Just... how and why did the US parents even have the opportunity to sell their kid off to a man coming from Egypt??? Strange
Crime in USA, USA consequences. I remember this documentary years ago. The sadness and grief I felt for the boyfriend was immeasurable. They wanted to marry. I will never forget the bird that was in a cage, that he set free. He said it was like her being set free of her father's imprisonment. Truly made me cry. I pray he gets what is coming to him.
My dad shot me. I'm dying that's what's up! Those were Sarah's words. I hope he gets the worse punishment possible!
worst
Me to. Shanked is the best punishment
After he dies, I can’t imagine what the punishment will be. If he’s lucky he sleeps for eternity.
I remember this story years ago,so heartbreaking 💔may they rest in peace and may he be brought to Justice to the fullest extent of the law!!!
It breaks my heart that every member of the family failed these girls. The “father” murdered his girls, the egg donor brought them back to him time and time again even after they accused him of sexually abusing them, and the brothers helped him evade police for years
Yes ma'am and there she sits in the audience as a victim when she too should be tried for accessory to murder if not premeditated murder.
Whats worse during her testimony she said she 50/50 knew he was going to kill them
@@raysha9932 I know right? The mother blew up Amina’s phone trying to convince her to come home, and wouldn’t let up. Like why would you do that if any part of you thought he would kill your girls? I wish they’d prosecute the mom too. The girls accused him of sexually abusing them and this idiotic woman claimed he only abused her.
The egg donor definitely should also be in prison. She failed those girls and is pretty much responsible for their deaths
@@NoName-mi8bm yeah she literally tricked them and Amina knew what was going to happen. I can’t imagine how helpless she and her sister must have felt because they were minors after all.
If it’s proven the defendant speaks and understands English, then get him for lying.
Yes!! If you listen right around 9:00 you can hear him answer his interpreter in perfect English! Also, he almost messes up several times and starts to answer before the interpreter even repeats the questions to him..
The first documentary I saw on this had lots of home videos of him speaking English
Contempt of court.
nope.... although we all know it is an act, do not give him ANY reason to appeal. He could later come back and say English is not his 1st language and his misunderstood something.... let him keep that interpreter.
It's been proven. He's trying to scam the court and the jury!
How does he manage to drive a taxi if he can’t speak or understand English… 🤦♀️
He's pretending he can't speak English.
I've been watching this trial, and I've seen NO signs of remorse from him regarding the very fact that his daughters are dead. All I see when I look at him, is a person who was angry because he couldn't control his daughters...he couldn't make them do what he wanted them to do. And so, he lied to them, saying he's gonna take them out to "Denny's". No...he took them to a secret place and shot them! He KILLED THEM!!!
If he’s lucky when he dies he is in a forever sleep if not his judgment doesn't look good.
He totally understands English. When the prosecutor objected to him as non responsive, he switched up his response immediately without guidance at 17:30
this made me sad when i first heard about the case years ago and that he was on the run if this was indeed an honor killing as he put it he wouldn't of been hiding like the coward bastard he is that is shameful thank god they found him now they can get the justice they deserve. rest in peace Amina and Sarah
How has he been here since 83. Marrying and raising Americans. And not speak any English.
He has only further damaged the public opinion of Muslims with his own extremism.
He’s not Muslim. I’m not a Muslim but very well educated in religion. By definition he can not be a Muslim and will be sent to hell in the afterlife. There is no such thing as honor killing of your children. The only time you could potentially kill your child is if that child attempts to harm/kill another family member or sibling. For dating someone, you can punish them such as “grounding” or limiting what you offer them but killing them sends the father to hell
@@utcougar According to him, he's Muslim.
@@utcougar you the religion gatekeeper??

Don’t get me wrong: I want to be an ally.
I was working at FedEx office in Plano, TX and this freshman came in to print her “notable contributions to science by Muslims” science fair project.
It was fascinating. She was very proud of it.
I exclaimed how impressed I was and gave her a smile. She hadn’t skimped on space at all. All info fit an 1/8th of the margins! Her mother smiled too.
Then she said something that broke my heart:
“See, we aren’t all bad.”
At that moment, I could only imagine the horrible treatment she had gotten from her peers. I got choked up and tried to hide the fact my red Irish face had shown I was shedding tears.
I threw in some photoshop background for free, because I wanted this girl to have a boost in confidence.
I printed her project, and she thanked me repeatedly, so did her mom.
She came back a month later to let me know she got second place. I was still proud of her.
I honestly didn’t think she could ever win first, being that it’s Texas, and if you aren’t Christian, you’ll never win first. That’s just how society is down here.
(I’m a gay atheist, btw, which is twice as bad as being non-Christian)
I congratulated her, and she asked for a hug. I gave her a big hug, and started tearing up again. I told her that she always had an ally in one person, (she knew I was gay) and I wished her the best for the future.
I think about that moment, often.
I love how he acts like he needs an interpreter..... we've seen his home videos of him stalking his daughters... he absolutely speaks English 😡
Honor killings of those two beautiful young ladies. Happens every day in Islamic countries. Sad but true. 😔
@@melvicci it’s also Islamic!!!
Those girls were beautiful , he is a monster, I'm tired of these honour killings happening. There have been many here in the U.K it's just so horrible . Women are nothing but possessions to these men. There mother should have done more for them too, she should have protected them!
I’ve been following this for years !!! So glad to see finally him face justice!!!!
JUSTICE FOR SARAH AND AMINA !!!!!
😢🙏❤️
yes such a loose to everyday people even they had so much to offer to smart girls like that
He’s on the stand ? 😂😂😂😂
What an absolute narcissist who actually believes he can fool the jury !!!! He murdered those girls !! The daughter said so herself in her agony as she was dying! Pure narcissism!!
Now that he is DENYING his obvious guilt, STOP calling it an "honor killing"! When it's an honor killing they are proud of it and do not deny it.
Honor crimes are actually completely disgraceful. It's a deep rooted cultural programming that attempts to justify jealousy and rage by blaming the victim and calling it "honor".
Honor crimes are actually hate crimes.
this guy speaks and understands english...well. I have heard him make many english language phrases.
Exactly! I have seen his home videos and he spoke perfect English
@@cassandrav4358 it's like pool 🎱 😎 balls the harder you hit them the more English you get out of them ha ha 😂 just sayin 😂 💯 😉 😄!
Around 9:00 I could literally hear and understand his response to his interpreter!? Perfect English!
He married his wife when she was 15/16 and she’s American. He speaks English.
The last question he understood completely what was asked. Even before the interpreter interpreted the question. You can see that he understands completely all the questions. SMH
He understands every word that is being said and he could reply to every question. Playing the me don't understand game is not going to save this MONSTER.
YES PROSECUTION "IM SPEAKING." -dead silence- *chef's kiss*
The defendants lawyer thinks it his time to shine.
He wants to be this big bad defense attorney that everyone wants.
Agree. I also think he was trying anything and everything to cast doubt in the prosecutor's case. His objections and outburst were nothing more than a smoke screen & bought Yaser more time to think of a good answer
What do you want him to do roll over and die ?? He has a job to do and he doesn’t have anything else lol 😂
The defence is only doing his job for his pay.
And yet he pursued an American girl when she was 14 and got her pregnant at 16 when he was over 30 years old. On top of everything he was filming his daughters making sexual remarks about their bodies and eyes in a weird manner that makes me think he SA them.
I wonder why she is not in jail though. As weird as it sounds he did ask her parents and they gladly let him marry her. And something tells me that she knew where he was hiding.
This man can speak perfect English
That is him wanting to have the last control one last time
😦😦😦😦 - THANK YOU SO MUCH JURORS FOR KEEPING THIS SIMPLE AND NOT TURNING IT INTO A DEBACLE LIKE SO MANY CASES IN THE PAST.
This story stayed with me for the whole 12 years and soon as it came up on my feed, I knew immediately the whole story and started celebrating right then and there.
I thought this man went back to his country and they were never going to find him and that tore a hole in my heart just thinking about this being a great possibility.
But today it is a hole that can now start to heal 12 years later thanks to you and the F.B.I. and anybody else who played a role in capturing this monster.
R.I.P. young Angels
They kept their promise.
GRIM
It's called background... I don't know why his lawyer won't shut up
I now understand the objection of letting these people into the US.
Wait, I thought he could speak fluent English? Am I just completely wrong? Or, do defendants get to choose the language they're most comfortable with if they're multilingual??
Legal wise I’m not 100%, but I think it’s because some of our words can be understood as something else in another language. Especially in a trial where he may not of heard some of these words. I once worked with someone who spoke 3 languages and he sometimes mixed up words. 🤷🏼♀️
They have a right to their own language; I think he's just using his "immigrant persona" to look innocent and stupid; cause he can use the sympathy of others cause of xenophobia/islamophobia; but he doesn't realize people are smarter than that, honour killings do happen in certain cultures, and majority of muslims are against that, so he's not fooling anyone. He gets more agitated when the questions would check his lies under oath lol, so I'm sure he understands perfect english, he married an american too,he don't have control over the narrative anymore and he's furious 😆
You cannot live in another country and act as though you don"t live there and don't integrate with people it makes no sense. The man is not their father he is a monster.
Yaser Said spoke English very well on all those creepy video recordings. I bet he’s using a translator because it’ll give him a chance to think of the answer
It's really off putting the way these lawyers doing commentary are laughing, smiling and clapping. Nothing is funny about this case this man killed his two daughters and is playing dumb as if he doesn't know English and he's been her for forty years and had an American wife and kids who spoke English.
Patricia Said needs to face charges and be in prison. she had every bit of involvement as her husband for lying and setting them up. what a good mother!!!
My 6 year old grandson passed away in a single car accident the tie rod broke we went off the road hit a culvert and flipped the vehicle, this happened in 2018, to even bring it up I break down crying in the loss of his little life, I was the one driving the vehicle.. no emotions come out of this man when he's speaking about his daughters,..yes he has lots of video of his daughters, and he videos their butts, they slept in there Jeans, a lot of the videos where they are older it's evident they did not like him videoing them, Amina even told him in one video that he was sick and to stop videoing them,
Sorry for your loss
Bless you your in my prayers 🙏🏻
Guilty
Those masks are so stupid.
Circus muzzle contraptions 🤡🎪😷
Judge: the court will take a short recess.
Johny big pants : objection!
What the heck is this? He’s answering the prosecutors questions directly to the interpreter before allowing her to interpret. He doesn’t need an interpreter, the judge shouldn’t have allowed this.
I’ve see ESL people testify in court and they speak directly into the microphone, the interpreter is on the side. They don’t whisper together. This is ridiculous.
Glad I’m not the only one that noticed that. He knows what he’s doing
The mother or 'poor excuse for a mother' should also be behind bars. She was an accomplice and after watching the documentary she STILL defends him saying he loved his daughters. She allowed the abuse to continue and lead them to their death, absolute disgrace the pair of them.
Those muzzle contraptions make this an unwatchable circus that can not get taken seriously!
This interpreter needs to be barred from any courtroom in the future. The judge did not do her job when it came to this.
I’ve always been confused to why Yaser Said ever even moved to the USA and married an American; who had three children born here. Yet didn’t want his daughters to be with an American? Make it make sense
He wanted to make money by selling his daughters to the highest paying pervert who could force his daughters into submission.
He was happy to have girls he could sell. His sense of honor was disrupted when the girls didn't want to be sold.
He was leaning on his culture in order to convenience himself, yet he didn't want to abide by his culture himself. He's a control freak.
This guy knows and speaks english, I saw a documentary where he was filming the girls and speaking on how good they looked in English.
Question: How is his testimony transcribed since he's whispering a lot of the time? I read in a comment that the interpreter did not translate everything he said. Could this be on purpose on the part of the defense?
I would not totally like to be his translator you got to translate nothing but lies
What's interesting is that the court interpreter/translator is doing an awful job. Said stated he has political problems back in Egypt that he was fearful of. Meaning he has additional problems back home. The translator did not mention that. She is not fully and correctly doing her job. I hope there are others watching who has picked up on these serious errors and can alert the court. He is also being evasive and intentionally not answering the questions directly.
That's because the questions cannot be answered logically and convincingly. So he resorts to what he knows best, gaslighting.
Aw really. She's leaving stuff out they will go back and check she's translating properly
@@celticwarrior777 my wife speaks Arabic and showed me where the errors took place and what they were. Arabic is her native language by the way.
She Probably doesn’t understand Arabic well
@Creekbank Therapy What does his issues back home have to do with anything. He is on trial for murdering his two daughters. Good if he has problems back home, means he couldn't/wouldn't run back there. If he is being evasive, she should leave out irrelevant information, no sympathy for him, he had none for his daughters. I don't believe he would have approved of boys from his culture either.
A translator should be fluent in languages they are translating. She isn’t fully translating what he is saying in Arabic and her English is broken. How is this permissible.
So much for his Muslims don't lie theory! The interpretor is suspect. She's changing his words and correcting him when he says something he shouldn't say!
I get the sense the interpreter is on his side.
I felt that at first but there are moments where you see her roll her eyes and look at the judge like she is fed up with his lack of answering the questions properly on purpose. She also huffs a couple of times at his responses
Dont u love it nobody can speak English all of a sudden
I sincerely hope this monster gets "what HE deserves in jail!"
Did he not marry an American? Yet his daughters had to tow the line according to his wishes. He enjoys living in America along with his side of the family yet want to abide by his rules not the country he has adopted.
Now he's 65 years old, will be taken care of in old age by basically free room and board for the rest of his life!
He reminds me of one of those Nazis who gets put on trial from the concentration camps his mannerisms and look are the same
Why is he whispering to the interpreter as he answers. He should speak up and look at the prosecutor.
Why does judge permit these long-winded "speaking objections"?
Omg the entire defense!!!!
The Mother should have never brought them back to the home they all shared. He may get off with this simply over this being their actual culture in the country he was born in.
Exactly! She delivered them to him. She should be in jail too
@@cassandrav4358 women do some weird things protecting their partners in many perverted situations!
No he is not going to get off simply because that is acceptable where he is from. That is not how the law works.
He won't get off. He knew he was in America and he certainly knew murder is against the law. That's why he ran. That's why he's telling his bs story now. And yes the mom should've been charged as an accomplice.
Hes not going to get away with it he's not in egypt. Women here are not owned by men. He's going down for murder of his girls
He's lying he know English. He understands
I hop he go to jail for ever
When defendants testify I listen to the cross before the direct. The cross is always the best part.
Prosecutor should try and limit him to yes or no answers. It is very difficult to follow the threat of this cross
“Often times what hurt’s most is not the physical pain, but who caused you the pain”.
i can't even listen to this a year later- The fakeness like he don't know English wtf! the fact that the daughter made the call is all i needed to hear. HE is sick and there is a judgement day. Why run if you not guilty?
He has the nerve to say “if the police had done their job….” As if he was doing his job as a father when he “left” his girls. If we are to believe his tale.
This man is completely sick he's evil he's a contradictor of liar and got a lot of nerve to blame everybody for something that he did I'm so tired of these ones like this just admit the truth Allah seen everything you did..
uggg these "reporters" are making me sick with the astonished disbelief that the state is "pushing the boundaries". The man KILLED his not one but TWO daughters! They along with many civilians of not only this state but the country as a whole are pissed. Why do so called "reporters" not see that? what don't you try to act more like a human versus a yes man?
Tell me you're clueless about trial law without telling me. Hint: it's not about how you uggg feel.... He's now going to get an appeal for prosecutor violating the rules of hearsay.
@@madi4481 look lady i didn't say anything the trial please read again. i DO understand an actual lot about law. I DO understand that part of rhe law....fyi i was referring to the "reporters " they report their own feelings on everyone and everything else why stop now.

@@madi4481 how old are you?
He clearly understands English as he listens to state and reacts before translator translates.
she's definitely not translating this correctly. His mannerisms are so angry and what she says he's saying doesn't seem to match? I don't know the language so I could be entirely off. regardless, everyone seems to be sure this guy did it.
She’s translating everything perfectly clear. He also understand the questions he’s being answered because he tries to answer before the translator tells him the question. He’s angry because she’s answering all the right questions
She’s translating it perfectly
@Megan Hanley His dying daughter said, "My Dad shot me and I'm dying", That's why everyone thinks he did it. She said multiple times he was going to kill her (them). She was sure of it and he did.
I noticed several times when he had a hard time finding the appropriate words in "his language".
He made a complete mockery of the courtroom, and should be held accountable for that.
I feel sickened by this entire story.
I remember when this guy was on the FBI most wanted list.
He married a woman who spoke English and his daughters did but now he can’t understand English?
He really cannot control his anger! He also can't stand the fact that a woman is confrontoing him.
THAT man is guilty!! I hope YOU restored family honor NOW AFTER YOU sentence of life in prison .
He was violent look at the video when his daughter was smiling at her job & he was filming her saying she’s in trouble!
How could any lawyer defend this piece of crap
Who supported him all those years on the run
His family
His son, brother, niece
So I guess you could call this ‘the shaggy defense’
“It wasn’t me”
I do wonder if placing an interpreter right next to a defendent/accused is something which aids or which harms a trial. Regardless of an interpreter's professionalism, e.g., an impartiality and ability to convey in as exact manner as is possible what they are interpreting to and from the client, it may be best to seat an interpreter near to/next to the court stenographer. The distance will also remove what appears to be a source of safety or an impression of an ally which the defendent may experience from an interpreter's nearness/presence. From what I can observe and due to their communicating in the defendent's native language, the defendent as well as the interpreter appear to be choosing what is shared to the judge, the prosecuters, and the jury. The interpreter and the defendent's words ought to word for word be conveyed directly and not in a Coles Notes/compressed manner. I am in awe of the patience that the prosecuters possess while navigating what is a challenging language buffer and the, what I think, added issue (for whatever that may be) of the defendent's proximity to the interpreter.
The interpreter can be amazingly talented and professional, but I actually think it makes him look vulnerable and weak. All of the videos he made of his daughters show him speaking English. He has a very thick accent, but he speaks it. He does not need that interpreter. Do you know whose decision it was to have the interpreter there? Did he ask for it or did they impose that on him?
@@Pollyanna_Nielsen "Do you know whose decision it was to have the interpreter there? Did he ask for it or did they impose that on him?" Sorry, I do not. And, you are right about the defendent's ability to speak and to understand English. At the very least and during one instance, the defendent corrected the interpreter's English response to a prosecutor's question.
28:25 Yaser is fighting with the clown muzzle that broke apart on his face. Very clean and "safe" 🤣 Way to turn the most serious trial to a clown circus that can't get take seriously 🤡🎪
I remember when this came out on the news. It was sad.
Guilty!!!!!
The creep knew English when he was filming his daughters in their bedroom.I clearly remember wanting to vomit when he said oh very nice about his daughters body.
He understands "did you kill your daughters" perfectly in English no translation was even needed. Case seal I believe Sarah.
Y R THEY WHISPERING? THEY R MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY R HIDING SOMETHING
A couple times he answers before his interpreter translates for him 😂🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
This man clearly speaks and understands English! This has been seen and heard on video! What a master manipulator.
This defense Lawyer is pissing me off. Sit down.
This is the type of courtroom you get, a circus 🎪, when you put them in charge. This tragedy is going to be just a game for these clowns.
These poor innocent beautiful girls deserved better than this for a father. Imagine him denying his guilt when his daughter told 911 she'd been shot by her father. Perhaps the arrogance is because he thinks he did the right thing.
Well he'll have time to learn the language! lol
Defense attorney going to wear EVERYONE out...
Defense sounds defeated lmao
