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.
[Previously, at WEJB/NSU:
“Mischief by Ninth Circus Leads to New Trial for Mohammed Haroon Ali, Who in 1999 Confessed to Killing Fred Biletnikoff’s Daughter, Tracey; Defense Attorney Seeks to Re-Define Murder Without Premeditation (2nd Degree) as ‘Manslaughter’”;
“Jury Selection Begins in Tracey Biletnikoff Murder Trial”; and
“Retrial Begins in Tracey Biletnikoff Murder.”]
This was the first mention of this trial I've found on the internet since it started on January 25. You would think a murder trial with the victim being the daughter of a famous pro football player would receive more attention.
