Lois Raimondo is showing us photographs from her story on honor killings.
A man gouged out his wife's eyes and sliced off her nose because she wouldn't give him a divorce. Raimondo was at the courthouse when the woman went to trial against her husband. The man, in chains, is shown smirking in one of Raimondo's photos.
His response to how he felt about what he'd done?
"She offended my honor, so I 'm proud of what I did."
The police he was with patted him on his back.
The story ran on the front page of the Washington Post (I'm trying to find the story online) and Raimondo said she felt sick about it and wanted to tell a story about the complexity of honor killings and the people involved.
