Two murders of Muslims were used as evidence of Islamophobia. One turned out to be a parking dispute. The other road rage.
That hasn’t stopped the media and politicians from using the Nabra Hassanen case to claim Islamophobia. Nabra Hassanen was murdered after her friends got into an argument with an illegal alien from El Salvador, who allegedly was linked to MS-13.
Now the illegal alien has pleaded guilty to her murder.
The man charged in the high-profile killing of Nabra Hassanen, a Muslim teen who was attacked while heading to a mosque in Virginia during Ramadan, has entered a guilty plea.
Darwin Martinez Torres pleaded guilty to multiple charges related to the rape and murder of Hassanen.
Torres attacked a group of Muslim teens as they were walking back to the mosque after picking up food at a nearby shopping center, police said. He drove his car over the curb and the teens scattered. According to police, Torres allegedly grabbed Hassanen, hit her with a baseball bat, raped her, killed her and dumped her body in a pond.
A brutal crime by a brutal thug.
Prosecutors sought during hearings to tie Torres to the gang MS-13. Torres is undocumented, and ICE placed a detainer on him after his arrest.
His mental abilities were expected to be a key part of court arguments in his defense, and the judge in May appointed brain experts to evaluate Torres.
The defense claimed that Torres suffers from a low IQ. But low IQ defenses these days are the equivalent of not guilty by reason of insanity and hardly worth paying attention to.

A wall would have kept him out.
