Case 5 Hassan, age 23, had been in and out of trouble his whole life. Last month he was charged with stealing a car.

Hassan denies stealing the car but since the owner is not acquainted with Hassan, there is no other explanation for his fingerprints being inside.

During the fray, Nabeeh hit Ziyad several times and Ziyad pushed Nabeeh to the ground, slamming his head on the concrete. Nabeeh was hospitalized and died days later. Nabeeh’s family believe Ziyad is guilty of murder.

The parents were outraged and are now demanding that something be done.

Case 9 Hana is the teenage daughter of a wealthy Saudi family. She has always been strong-willed but lately she has become more difficult.

Case 9 cont. She even stood up in front of all of the other girls in her class and spoke angrily to the teacher. Upon being scolded for speaking in a way unfit for a Muslim girl, Hana said, “I am probably not going to follow the Faith, anyway! I want to be free to dress and do as I please!” Her teacher immediately reported her to the local authorities.
