On Sunday, an Iraqi doctor testified about what he saw after he was called to the girl’s home. The doctor said the young girl was raped and shot in the head, just under her left eye. Her parents and her five-year-old sister were also shot to dead. The doctor said he was ill for weeks after witnessing the crime scene.
