Yes, I have experience with this too and I agree that my reports are generally accepted by both sides as either a “walk through” judicial hearing or plea bargain. It would be hard to do this when there is reasonable disagreement between experts regarding sanity as in this case.

ClinkShrink @clinkshrink.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I’ve evaluated a number of people who have killed their children. Even assuming a given defendant was psychotic there would still need to be an indictment and trial to determine that. Disputed facts require a trial.

ClinkShrink @clinkshrink.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
That is irrelevant. More relevant is the MA law regarding insanity. State bears the burden of proof to show sanity “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Putting the prosecution experts—male or otherwise—at a disadvantage.

He’s right though that phenomenology is important. Egodystonic thoughts are different from external perceptions or sounds. A perception without a stimulus is a hallucination, a thought is not. People describe both as “voices.”

Hummingbirds.
A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

But he'd still have to prove he was injured on the inside because of this. In other words, he'd have to snitch again but this time on those who took it out on him in prison. They don't do that.

ClinkShrink @clinkshrink.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
I'd also like to know how he would prove an injury to a bad reputation. I'm guessing one could also argue that criminals cannot recovery for injuries resulting from their own criminal acts.

Two days after the crime she asked the consult liaison psychiatrist, "Do I need a lawyer?" So far there has been no testimony about the actual insanity test for Massachusetts or whether she met that test at the time of the crime.

ClinkShrink @clinkshrink.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Except that three psychiatrists and two psychiatric nurse practitioners testified that she was never psychotic. She was briefly delirious after a head injury, but that cleared within two days. Two days after the crime a forensic psychiatrist assessed her as competent to change her health care proxy.

They’re a death cult. They want people to die. The capitalists in power in government, business, and tech are not just indifferent but murderous. Anti-vaccine hysteria, slashing food aid, dismantling USAID, denying insurance claims, concentration camps. Cutting funding for suicide prevention.

The story cites mentally ill prisoners as a cause of prison murders, but more common & likely factors are gang rivalry, revenge for prior incidents, and unpaid debts. Maryland needs better or more internal intelligence gathering to head off confrontations.

Trump's DOJ released a dubious legal memo this morning that signals the Trump admin wants to force more people into psychiatric institutions via bad faith and incorrect interpretations of ADA, Section 504, and Olmstead. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Similarly the interests of society are advanced when law enforcement professionals are trained to kill when necessary, but we should be alarmed when there are those who delight in doing it.
