The one worthwhile part of the trial... Barnabas appears in courtroom, Lamar's head bits rain down on the multitude. Great DS moment. Lamar's insides are turning into a quivering mass of jelly as he "testifies"! He is now less-than-gloaty.
As for Barnabas confronting Trask later, Trask, you know, still has... a gun! He could still use it, and he's rattled enough to do it mindless of legal consequences. Maybe Barnabas's mind games were meant to convince LT that bullets couldn't touch such a scary, unspecified supernatural creature as he, as a sort of insurance against being shot.
I think Barnabas feels a part of a very strange sort of extended family, that includes Collinses over 200 years. He's very protective of this group (except when he's not (what if Flora had found him out?). Anyway, strange family relationship. His "family" doesn't know him. Maybe he's always making up for having been declared a family outcast by Joshua.
