Runaway Jury

Expert Witnesses are supposed to be impartial. Psychology Today has a huge article about this- Paranoid Schizophrenic murder- on meds off meds disorder in remission etc...."Courts have affirmed time and time again that an expert witness duty is not to side that retains him or her but to the truth finding mission of the court"pp-74 Unfortunately according to this article which seems to be legitimate many expert witnesses seem to have "adversarial allegiance" depending on who's side is paying them. Many are referred to as hired guns like Park Dietz. As one of the highest profile forensic psychiatrists in the country he reportedly was paid $100,000 for his work on the trial of Andrea Yates who drowned her five children. Michael Welner a forensic psychiatrist charged the federal government $500,000 to produce a 200 page report on the mental competency of Elizabeth Smarts kidnapper. I am wondering how much Yale University's Psychiatric Dept got paid to produce  Adam Lanzas psychological profile? One thing is clear there seems to be  big dollars involved when it comes to high profile trials and tribulations. Run Away Jury- in my humble opinion many of these juries are rigged in advance. Its all entertainment for many especially the trials that have us glued to the news 24/7. Whether its Teflon Don or Sammy the Bull many people find great comfort in mobsters and lawyers, criminals, cops and thieves. I believe that OJ'S trial was not all that they said it was. Expert Witness Work- "People who do this have to work extra hard not to get caught up in the easy narcissism that can come the way of expert witnesses"pp-76
