Yaser Said found guilty of capital murder in 2008 killings of 2 daughters in North Texas

FORT WORTH, Texas — A 65-year-old father was found guilty Tuesday of capital murder in the 2008 shooting deaths of his two daughters in his taxi near an Irving hotel in what some family members called “honor killings.”

Yaser Said showed no emotion as Judge Chika Anyiam announced the verdict from the Dallas County jury, which took about four hours Tuesday to reach a decision.
