In January last year, Fatehi was put on trial and sentenced to death by a criminal court, a verdict that was then quashed by in an unprecedented move, the report said."
Note, even the court did not call it premeditated murder - is was a forceful defense by the girl to avoid being raped.
If she had been raped, she might have been murdered by her family for reasons of "honor." To see the facts,
