The trial of the killer of pro football Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff’s daughter Tracey, Mohammed Haroon Ali, has been going on since January. Ali cried in court when prosecutors played the tape of his confession, made just days after the murder, on Tuesday.

Ali said she swung wildly at him with her fists at his head while he strangled her and forced her onto the ground.

Tracey Biletnikoff’s body became limp and “white stuff” came out of her mouth.
If found guilty of first degree murder, Ali faces a “life” sentence.

Defense attorney Peter Goldscheider argues that it was a crime of passion that carries a shorter sentence. If the jury agrees, Ali could walk with time served.

In 2009, an appellate court overturned the conviction, stating that prosecutors improperly dismissed at least one black juror, thus requiring a retrial.
