Haq Trial: Defense rests

Posted: 12:40 PM ET

SEATTLE, Washington – It took Naveed Haq two forensic evaluators, 18 months, and 27 ½ hours of interviews, to finally mention that he felt he was on a divinely sanctioned mission the day of the shooting at the Jewish Federation. That was the main focus Wednesday of prosecutor Donald Raz’ cross of defense expert Dr. James Missett, who concluded his testimony after 6 days.

Missett conceded that it was only after the defense called and offered up their client for a final chat, four days before Missett was due to be interviewed by Raz and fellow prosecutor Erin Ehlert, that he became of aware that “God had anything to do with this.”

"He was ready to burst open, and any number of things could have done it, because his life was so out of control,” said Missett.

Haq is on trial for killing one person and wounding five others in a shooting on July 28, 2006 at the Jewish Federation headquarters.

There is constantly talk about Haq not being able to focus. Baloney. The man went to college and graduated. You must focus to graduate from college.
