And considered not premeditated and only a 6 month sentence. I don’t know what sort of premeditation theory they have in Iraq but you cannot act in the heat of the moment without any thought when someone is asleep. In the states that is premeditated murder without any doubt.
Edit: To give an idea how low the bar is in the states, I was on a jury that convicted a man of premeditated murder who strangled a woman. At first I was going to vote against it, but after reviewing the ligature I noticed the killer tied it off. That implied a level of thought that pushed into premeditation, because he took the time to realize she might not die if he released the pressure and he wanted to ensure she did.
The father most likely has connections somewhere with the police or up the chain, and was able to get a story crafted. Hopefully after the uproar they will increase the sentence and punish those who collaborated.
With enough uproar, the government will do whatever to silence it. It wouldn’t be the first time a middle Eastern government responds to protests like that.

I’m sure even Iraq doesn’t allow double jeopardy.
