| Prosecutor: Seattle JCC shooter was trying to send message, and now must pay |
| 2008-05-23 |
| A prosecutor told jurors Thursday that a man charged with a fatal shooting at a Jewish center knew right from wrong but was using murder to get out a message. "The cost of that message was high and now it must be paid," prosecutor Don Raz said in his closing argument in the trial of Naveed Haq, who has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to murder and attempted murder. Raz said the way Haq went about killing a woman and wounding five others at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle in July 2006 showed he clearly could perceive the nature of his actions and was not insane. The case was expected to go to the jury by the end of the day Thursday after the defense attorney's closing arguments. |

| #11 Replicating Muhamhead. This punk may claim to be a Christian convert but since being a liar is an Islamic tradition I'm thinking not a chance. Muzzie to the end. Here is hoping that will be coming in a prison shower. |

| #10 By golly, you're right, CF. Based on everything I've read, I thought it has seceded and joined Canadistan. My bad. Sorry, eh. |

| #8 No, King County is in Washington State which (last I've heard) was in the USA. Seattle Washington is in King County. I only work in Seattle - I live in neighboring Snohomish County. The King County Courthouse is only about 3 blocks from my office. King County is where the elections office is an fifedom of the Democratic Party and King Country Executive Ron Sims. |

| #6 If he is a Christian why the sudden Jihad syndrome He reconciled with his father and imam some time before the murder spree. Don't remeber if it was a formal reversion to islam, but could a Christian reconcile w/ the two? |

| #5 King County prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty. Why not? |

| #4 Haq was a muslim who converted to Christianity. I think the death sentence was taken off the table. However, if he is given the maximum sentence, CAIR should not CARE since he is now a Christian and not a muslim. If he is a Christian why the sudden Jihad syndrome--a residual from his previous association with islam? |

| #2 Only in Seattle would Sudden Jihad Syndrome be considered a valid insanity defense. |

| #1 Ah, sending a message. In simpler times, we called that mass murder. |
