I do not care, really do not care, how he was dressed, how he answered the questions, and/or what kind of poor, wide-eyed innocent, pathetic me look he was able to scrounge up for the camera.
HE, and HE alone, took off with Zahra when she was an infant and he was given custody of her by her mother. He chose to cut Zahra's mother out of their lives, and by that choice, HE made himself Zahra's only parent, the one with the SOLE responsibility for her care and welfare.
In Zahra's 10 short years of life, she survived cancer. She had a leg amputated because of the cancer. She lost her hearing and required hearing aids because of the cancer. She allegedly had a prosthetic limb that she had outgrown. AB, as her only parent, by his own actions, was responsible for her care, so why wasn't he getting her fitted for a new leg?
Zahra was last seen by someone outside the family on Sept. 25. Why did no one else see her? Was she sick? AB had a duty to take her in to get treatment if she was sick for 2 weeks, that's his job as her father, and again, only parent. While he did not have to physically take off work and take her himself, it was up to him to make sure it was done. Did he? Apparently not, and we are talking about a little girl who has been severely ill in the past. How can it be justified to not get her treatment?
Zahra was allegedly deceased, by what means are still unknown, at least to me. She was dismembered into pieces and scattered about the countryside. Where was her daddy when this was going on? If he has a job that takes him out of town for long stretches of time, I am not aware of it. So, what? Was he in the living room watching a game while EB was in the bathroom cutting up his daughter?
IMO, he was savvy enough to evade Zahra's mother for 10 years, so how is he so clueless now?
The interview, I realize it was heavily edited, but it was all "ME, ME, ME..." If he really had nothing to do with this, he was told, just a few days ago, his daughter is dead and was cut in pieces. 6 months later, how could he be giving any thought to himself, much less how much he was concerned about HIM in this interview. 'They think I'm a monster..People call me a murderer...I want a normal life...wah wah wah'. Where is the concern for the dead and dismembered daughter he loved so much? Where are the statements about her, how she didn't deserve this, how she was such a good girl, how she made his life worth living, how he doesn't know how to go on without her?
I'll keep my fingers crossed AB gets his 'normal' life in prison, with no parole ever.
