Attorneys Say "No Possible Way" Omar Abdulsattar Ameen Killed Police Officer In Iraq

For months, attorneys for Omar Abdulsattar Ameen, the Iraqi national living in Sacramento as a refugee and accused of killing a police officer in Iraq on behalf of ISIS in June 2014, have maintained their client's innocence, arguing he was in Turkey at the time of the murder.

On Tuesday, Ameen's lawyers filed more 500 pages of documents in support of that theory, saying there is "no possible way" their client murdered the Iraqi police officer because he never left Turkey between April 1, 2012, and November 4, 2014.
