I am not making light of this story. I don't think it's funny that you should assume that I am. This is serious stuff.
With four people dead, this is not a case of "...a teeny-tiny bout of insane rage."
Is this incident any different from someone high on an illegal drug, such as PCP, and killing three people then themselves? What makes this incident even more horrific is that the man killed his own family. That's a hard act to follow.
The obvious question before the jury was probably: "Would this man have done the same thing if he hadn't taken the PAXIL?" Do you think the murderer's suicide (sort-of) points to the answer?
Here's a web-sight (sic) for sore eyes: http://pssg.org/resources.htm
Interestingly enough, there's no mention of the doctor in the suit. Do you think pill-pushers should be made accountable for their role in this kind of thing? (Did somebody say 'incompetence' or was that 'unqualified'?)
