Man Convicted of Beheading Wife

Almost two years ago, Feministing posted about the arrest of Muzzammil Hussan, who was accused of stabbing (over 40 times) and beheading his wife after she applied for divorce.  I am not sure if this has become public knowledge again, but in late January Hussan went on trial for the crime; yesterday, he was convicted of second degree murder (it took the jury less than an hour, by the way).

In reading the various transcripts and commentaries on the trial, there are several comments that frighten me.  From his appalling claims of victimization by his wife as well as various legal institutions, as well as his insistence that men are overwhelmingly persecuted, I think this trial is relevant on a more macro level.  Several articles are being published, but I will list a few links below.
