BUFFALO, N.Y. The founder of an Islam-oriented television station who is accused of beheading his wife is due in a Buffalo courtroom for proceedings in advance of his murder trial.
Muzzammil Mo Hassan is tentatively scheduled to stand trial later this month for the death of his wife, Aasiyah Hassan, last year.
Pretrial motions are scheduled for Friday.
Hassans attorney plans a defense that includes claims that Hassan was abused by his wife and emotionally out of control. But prosecutors are fighting the use of a psychiatric defense.
The Pakistan-born Hassans started Bridges TV in 2004, in part to dispel negative Muslim stereotypes.
Muzzammil Hassan was served divorce papers shortly before his wifes slaying.
