NASHUA, N.H. -- A man convicted of shooting and wounding a New Hampshire bishop and assaulting the bride and groom in 2019 played his own rap music for the jury Wednesday as part of his insanity defense, saying he wanted to show how he was dealing with demons and hearing voices.

The jury in Nashua had found Dale Holloway guilty on Tuesday on one of two attempted murder charges, and several assault charges. Holloway, 41, who is acting as his own attorney, had pleaded innocent. The panel, in considering a sentence, is now listening to him present evidence that he had suffered from a mental disease or defect when the crimes were committed......

"Holloway told jurors Wednesday that one of the voices he heard was Satan's."

God, however, had no comment.

“Holloway is already serving 7 1/2 to 15 years in state prison for assaulting his lawyer.”

Yeah. No wonder he’s acting as his own attorney.

“A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer”

[DannyTN]

Listening to and/or playing rap music seems like a slam dunk insanity defense to me.

"“A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer”"
