A stunning verdict was reached earlier this week in the case of two Muslim immigrants living in Washington State who stood accused of one of the most unimaginable crimes.
As Fox 13 reported, both the mother and father were found not guilty on Thursday of attempting an “honor killing” of their 17-year-old daughter. Back in October, they were accused of trying to murder their daughter after she refused to go to their native Iraq and marry an older man.
A jury in Lacey, Washington found 44-year-old Ihsan Ali, the victim’s dad, not guilty of second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault. Instead, they found him guilty of second-degree and fourth-degree assault and unlawful imprisonment.
The victim’s mom, 40-year-old Zahraa Ali, was found guilty of violating a protective order but acquitted of second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault, and second-degree burglary.
Here is the moment the verdict was rendered:

This verdict came despite the video showing them apparently doing exactly what they were accused of. Moreover, their daughter openly stated she feared for her life.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, court records state Ihsan Ali was choking his 17-year-old daughter to the point where she had lost consciousness as other students, including the girl’s boyfriend, tried to pull her away.
Witnesses revealed the daughter’s eyes rolled back as her father tried to suffocate her.
Court documents also note that the girl’s mother, Zahraa Ali, attempted to choke the girl. She was in a headlock after her mother grabbed her and was “knocked out” for an indeterminant period of time.
Amid intervention from others, the girl ran into the school and told officials, “My dad was trying to kill me, he was trying to kill me.”
School officials then ordered a lockdown and barred the girl’s parents from entering the school.
“The dad was on his back, and his daughter was on top of him, and he had her in a choke hold,” witness Josh Wagner said.
