Man Accused Of Pummeling Pregnant Wife Until Baby Died Won't Face Homicide Charges

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A Central Florida man who doctors believe beat his pregnant wife so severely that it killed their unborn baby will not be charged with homicide, according to authorities.

Investigators said Mohammad Khan was taken into custody this week after the alleged attack on his pregnant wife at a home in Windermere, Fla.

"It started as a verbal argument and through that argument became physical," Orange County sheriff's Sgt. Spike Hopkins said. "When I saw him, he didn't seem remorseful about the occurrence at all."

"(It's a story) that is upsetting to deputies involved the case," Local 6's Laura Diaz said. "The reason why police can't charge the man with murder is that his baby died in utero. His wife was 16 weeks along, not the required 26 weeks in order to file charges."

After his arrest, deputies said Khan told them he didn't know his wife was pregnant.

Kahn faces felony charges of aggravated battery on a pregnant woman.

In a statement, Khan's wife said she does not want police to prosecute her husband, the report said.

"She told police (that) her father told her it was her fault she lost the baby," Diaz said.

The woman's condition was not known Wednesday.

Of course if he was a white Anglo Christian, he would get the death penalty.

[television is just wrong]

of course, this must be a cultural thing. Nothing to see her move along...

"She told police (that) her father told her it was her fault she lost the baby," Diaz said.

Incredible. He beats her to a pulp and she thinks it's her fault. Religion of Peace, perhaps?

RELIGION OF PEACE

Damn it makes me angry.

It just keeps on getting worse, doesn’t it?

"of course, this must be a cultural thing. Nothing to see her move along..."

Yes, it is perfectly normal for a man of Middle Eastern descent to beat his wife until her baby dies.

[Chi-townChief]

He’s being pro-choice.

If you click on the video at the source you will hear that the woman does not want to prosecute because her father told her “it was her fault she lost the baby”.

What a religion!

Of course if he was a white Anglo Christian, he would get the death penalty.

Captain Hyperbole to the rescue!

The scum may have gotten away with it, but he has yet to face the ultimate Judge and answer for his crime.

We'll see just how smug he is then.

Can I hug a keg instead? :0)

"She told police (that) her father told her it was her fault she lost the baby," Diaz said.

Why? Did she appear in public without the required body tent?

Between her husband and her own father(!?!?), Allah the made-up Moon Demon must be so proud of these great men of the faith.

WWMK?

(Who Would Mohammed Kill?)

[LetGoNow]

And that is the ultimate judgment.

Even I am occasionally surprised at the depths of barbarism to which Mohammedans can stoop.

Tolerance: All cultures are equally valuable... well, except Western Judaeo-Christian culture, which must be derided.
