How about Brian David Mitchell, kidnapper of Elizabeth Smart? His defense is predicated on the fact that he's a prophet.
I see your point, but I subscribe to the idea that one man's prophet is another man's pain in the ass. I think that would apply to just about everyone on your list, with the possible exception of your wife. I don't want to go there.
By your definition, the idiots that used to hang out in front of the VFW in Grinnell, IA and called me "faggot runner-boy" every time I ran by there at the start of my warm-up loop 5 days a week would qualify as prophets. They were consistent in their message, I didn't want to hear it, and they were at least 2/3rds right in that I was indeed a teenaged runner.
