Watch Live: Investigators say Yaser Said murdered his two teenage daughters in 2008 in so-called ‘honor killings’ for dating outside their faith.

The ex-boyfriend of Said's daughter Amina is expected to take the stand when testimony begins at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

Said disappeared simultaneously with the girls' murders and eluded police and the FBI for 12 years before he was finally captured.'Honor Killings' Trial: Sisters feared their dad would kill them days before their murders, prosecutors claim "This is a case about a man possessed with possession and control," said Dallas County Prosecutor Lauren Black. "As they had more independence, that was less control for him."

"The state wanted to convict Yaser Said for being Muslim in 2008," said defense attorney Joe Patton. "And the evidence does not support a capital murder conviction today at this trial."Hopkins said the girls confided in her about their home life, and Amina emailed her on December 21, 2007, days before they were killed."I know that he will search until he finds us, and he will without any drama nor doubt kill us," the email read.
