Meanwhile, Jodi Green for the defense argued Abulaban—who shared daughter Amira with Ana—did act out of heat of passion and pointed to his “spiraling” mental health and cocaine use.
“Yes, he killed Ana—the woman he loved, the mother of his beautiful daughter Amira—and he killed Ray, a man with whom Ana was having an affair,” she said, as shown on Court TV. “And he cannot undo what he has done, but he did not murder them. He is not a murderer.”
Abulaban is set to be sentenced on June 28.
