SEATTLE, Washington – Dr. Robert Wheeler continued his testimony Tuesday with a treat for jurors after lengthy expert testimony in the case of Naveed Haq; a simple-to-follow, plain-language, chronological development of events – with a brief explanation of how each point in this timeline supported his conclusions.

Haq is charged with killing one person and injuring five others in a shooting at the Jewish Federation headquarters here on July 28, 2006. He has presented an insanity defense in the case.

Wheeler told jurors that Haq was certainly capable of appreciating his actions and their consequences – from picking a target and the best weapon, to surrendering in a manner that ensured his survival.

“There was a plan in place; there was an objective to the plan; and there is nothing to suggest that capacity was impaired by his mental state,” he said.

CONVICTED HIM OF MURDER, HE WAS SANE AT THE TIME WHEN THE CRIMES WERE COMMITTED. HE IS NOW AND WILL ALWAYS BE A DANGER TO HIMSELF AND OTHERS AROUND HIM.

THE ONLY REASON I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD GET AWAY WITH MURDER IS IF ITS U OR THEM AND U HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT NOT TO DIE URSELF! THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM IS SO MESSED UP THAT INNOCENT PEOPLE R BEHIND BARS .

The defense said, “the lady got shot after calling 911″. That shows he knew what he was doing. Insainity is a loop hole, and yes people have “mental illnesses” but that should not exempt him/her from their accountablity for their actions. They still should be punished, not excused and let go.

No kidding!!! This guy made and exicuted his plans and he knows the system and how to work it. But, he will get away with it. Mark my words.
