Judge Hands Light Sentence In Long Beach Stabbing Case
In a controversial ruling, Jalal Bayati, an Iraq native and former Long Beach State economics lecturer, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter after stabbing his estranged fiancée and another man in her apartment. The judge ordered no prison time, placing Bayati under mandatory community jail time while he returns to Iraq. Deputy DA Denis Petty argued the decision verges on foreigner immunity to kill, but the judge stated diminished control at the time of the killings. The case stirred debate on mercy versus justice.
