His son’s beheading in 2002 was caught on a gruesome video that shocked the world.

“The 21st century saw three shocks,” Pearl said. “The first was 9/11. The second was the killing of my son. And the third was the shock today.”

With all due respect to the Pearl family, victims do not get to decide how, when or who goes to trial. If it was up to the Pearls, they’d simply put a bullet in his head and be done with it. And while I think that IS probably the best decision! we don’t do things that way.
