Jurors Warned of ‘fairly ugly issues’
May 7, 2008
As they quizzed potential jurors yesterday, Sheila LaBarre’s defense attorneys asked questions that suggested they will argue their client went insane and murdered at least two men on her Epping farm after being “triggered” by certain events.
LaBarre, 49, admitted to killing Michael Deloge in the fall of 2005 and Kenneth Countie in March 2006, but said she was legally insane at the time of the murders. Yesterday was only the second day of jury selection in a case that could last four to six weeks, but already attorneys from both sides are beginning to show their cards — or at least test legal arguments on the potential jurors.
More from the New Hampshire Union Leader.
