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.
Maybe I did some things that I didn't want to do that I feel as if Satan made me do,' he said in describing one of his songs. The October 2019 shootings happened at New England Pentecostal Ministries in Pelham nearly two weeks after Holloway's stepfather, a pastor at the church, was killed by the son of the groom. The son was later convicted of murder and sentenced to prison.
Brandon Castiglione was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 42 years in prison earlier this year for fatally shooting Holloway’s stepfather, Luis Garcia, inside his home. Garcia was a pastor at the church. There was no clear motive for that shooting.
