Eric Keen, Barbar's defense attorney, said the killings of 43-year-old Maysam Barbar and 6-year-old Tamara were not planned but carried out in an uncontrollable rage. He asked jurors to find his client guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

It took eight days for him to get up enough courage to murder his wife and that child. His defense atty said it was a heat of the moment thing? He took the girl out of school to kill her. Where's this instantaneous rage?

A coworker recently had jury duty. He came in from jury and told us he got into a shouting match with the judge and the defence attorney. They were claiming temporary insanity for a felon purchasing a firearm... His shoutdown went something like this...

If you are going to claim insanity for this guy, then you better prove to me he is batshit crazy. In other words, if he got out of bed, put his underwear on correctly, put his pants on correctly, put on his shirt correctly, socks and shoes correctly, cooked up his eggs and bacon, sat down and ate them, WITH A FORK, went outside and then you tell me he went temporarily insane, I will call bullshit on this...

Needless to say, he did not sit on that jury....
