SO TELL ME...IS THIS GUY A GREAT CEO:


A Jordanian man who, along with his wife and two sons, had been charged with kidnapping and assaulting the couple's daughter, died Tuesday after he was diagnosed with liver cancer just three weeks ago.

Jamil Ayed Hawatmeh, 66, died at Alta View Hospital in Sandy after his kidneys failed Monday, his son Iehab Hawatmeh said.

Jamil Hawatmeh; his wife, Wedad Hawatmeh; and their sons, Iehab and Shaher Hawatmeh, are charged with kidnapping and assaulting Muna Hawatmeh because they did not approve of her lesbian lifestyle.

Family members have been unable to contact Muna Hawatmeh for the past two years after she told Sandy police her parents and two brothers beat and threatened her for four hours, then tried to take her back to Jordan in October 1999, Iehab said. She has been in protective custody in another state since the charges were filed two years ago.

The Hawatmehs have denied beating, threatening or trying to kidnap the woman.

"He really loved his daughter," Iehab Hawatmeh said. "He really wanted to see her."

The case was delayed for months, until the Utah Supreme Court ruled in June that the four family members should stand trial on first-degree felony aggravated kidnapping charges and third-degree felony assault charges.

Defense attorneys for the family had successfully argued at the preliminary hearing stage that the necessary aggravating factors were not present to constitute the first-degree felony charge.

Instead, 3rd District Judge William Barrett ordered them to stand trial for simple kidnapping, a second-degree felony. The switch, appealed by prosecutors, changed the possible sentence from life in prison to a maximum of 15 years behind bars.

Deputy District Attorney Kent Morgan said prosecutors are awaiting word from the defense before deciding whether to go to trial with the surviving family members.
"It changes the case for us because we've lost a fairly important witness," said Ed Brass, attorney for Shaher Hawatmeh.
