Dad accused of killing daughter won't face death
PHOENIX -- Prosecutors in Arizona say a father accused of running down and killing his daughter in what has been described as an "honor killing" will not face the death penalty.
Maricopa County prosecutors announced the decision Thursday in the case against 48-year-old Faleh Almaleki.
The Iraqi immigrant is accused of killing his daughter by using his Jeep Cherokee to run her down along with another woman in a Peoria parking lot Oct. 20 because she had become too Westernized.
