I sure wonder what is going through #TYlerHadley's head as he listened to today's testy cross exams, he appears detached from what I can see, mostly back of his head. He rocks slightly in his chair, but mostly keeps head straight forward. He likes resting chin on left hand.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 5m5 minutes ago
Dr. Robert Kinscherff, defense psychology expert, is in court waiting to testify, I bet judge will call a break first, he'll be on stand for hours & Friday. Based on today, I may guess we'll be here Monday. #TylerHadley Hearing scheduled through 10/10 but end goal was by Friday.

Dr. Robert Kinscherff is on stand for #TylerHadley defense, he’s prof at William James College and is child psychologist, expert on adolescent development


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 4m4 minutes ago
Kinscherff says he was hired by defense in #TylerHadley hearing at $300 an hour, has billed $8,000 so far, says he's owed another $9,000 or $10,000 that comes from Public Defender budget.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 11m11 minutes ago
Right off, Kinscherff tells PD Diamond Litty in #TylerHadley hearing there's no way to scientifically predict whether someone who has killed will or will not ever kill again. He's listing records reviewed for his testimony, his focus is Tyler's future rehabilitation capacity.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 5m5 minutes ago
Kinscherff met #TylerHadley in Oct. 2017 to discuss history, murders, his perceptions. Met again in Aug. 2018. Now he's reciting Tyler's early childhood, anxiety, panic attacks, triggered by worries mom Mary Jo would leave him. Today is Mary Jo's birthday, she would be 55.

Story I wrote based on Robert Kinscherff interview w/ #TylerHadley recounts murders in his own words for first time http://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/crime/st-lucie-county/2018/09/26/tyler-hadley-resentencing/1411524002/ … via ⁦@TCPalm⁩

Tyler Hadley recounts 'Hammer Time' murder, party in his own words for first time

Sept. 26, 2018

"...New Hadley admissions

Hadley didn’t testify four years ago and there’s no indication he will next week, but he had plenty to say in October 2017 to Boston behavior psychologist Robert Kinscherff, an associate professor in a clinical psychology doctoral program at William James College in Newton, Massachusetts.
Hadley’s defense team hired Kinscherff to evaluate him and testify about a range of issues related to his behavior and his capacity for rehabilitation.

In his recorded depositions, Kinscherff stated Hadley admitted exaggerating symptoms of mental illness to experts hired in 2014 to evaluate him. Hadley talked with Kinscherff about his thoughts and behavior before and during the murders.
Hadley’s admissions to Kinscherff have not been previously reported. Here’s highlights from their conversations:..."

Tyler Hadley recounts 'Hammer Time' murder, party in his own words for first time

Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 4m4 minutes ago
Kinscherff says before killing, #TylerHadley's "world was collapsing around him" and obsessed about killing mom, dad, how to do it; pals didn't believe him when he talked about it. Increased conflict w/ parents, hard on their marriage, he reported.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 17m17 minutes ago
Kinscherff says #TylerHadley told him he entered parents bedroom night before attacks, he saw them sleeping, considered killing them but decided not to, followed through the next day July 16, 2011.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 13m13 minutes ago
Kinscherff talks about how #TylerHadley killed parents, called it "overkill" in panic or rage, his grandmother gets upset, her son Sam takes her out of court. Tyler's uncle Mike Hadley listens w/ arms crossed in court, stone faced. Tyler frozen in his seat.


Michelle Quesada‏Verified account @M_Quesada 10m10 minutes ago
Dr. Kinscherff analyzes the way #TylerHadley placed items on top of his parents' bodies and the fact that he did not flee. "People who commit these kind of targeted attacks often have not given a great deal of thought to the aftermath of the attack." @WPTV


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 11m11 minutes ago
Kinscherff says yes, #TylerHadley admitted smoking pot in prison, probably not good to admit, but he was encouraged by his lawyers to tell the truth, dr testifies. Tyler talks w/ mom's side fam, has relationship w/ "Christian woman in her 50s" and woman in Louisiana, pen-pal


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 5m5 minutes ago
Maggie DiVittorio, #TylerHadley's maternal grandma returns to court w/ her son Sam. She's elegant woman, 91, (retired nurse) white hair in short tight curls, wearing black jacket, rests in a wheelchair few feet from Tyler.

Psych testing for #TylerHadley shows he "desires significant life changes," and works to try and avoid conflict and stress in prison, Kinscherff says to Diamond Litty. She will not finish her questions for him today I'm quite sure.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 4m4 minutes ago
Kinscherff agrees, 3 different mental health experts concluded #TylerHadley not a psychopath, says traits from younger years have changed, lying, manipulations were "clumsy," and decided "he didn't want to be that guy."

In court, #TylerHadley just entered, pale blue shirt, slacks and tie, his maternal grandmother Maggie is here, her son Sam and on father's side, Tyler's aunt, uncle and cousin are getting seated. Both sides chatting as we wait for judge.

#TylerHadley who killed his parents when he was 17 years old back in 2011 walks into St.Lucie County courtroom for day 5 of his re-sentencing hearing. @WPBF25News

Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 1h1 hour ago
Defense for #TylerHadley say after their expert Robert Kinscherff is done, Tyler's grandma will testify again. State says still deciding if they will call a rebuttal expert, may go to Monday if so. Defense says Tyler will make statement to court before it's over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defense psychologist Robert Kinscherff talking about psych testing given to #TylerHadley by him and others, he got testing to measure anger, stress, anxiety and "trait anger" your predisposition to become angry.


Michelle Quesada‏Verified account @M_Quesada 1h1 hour ago
Dr. Kinscherff continues testimony on the stand this morning in #TylerHadley resentencing hearing. Talks about Hadley’s anger evaluation revealing he’s more inclined to suppress his anger. ⁦@WPTV⁩

Dov7TrSW4AAnnSI.jpg


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 1h1 hour ago
Kinscherff says #TylerHadley is "about as quick tempered as most people" but he controls, suppresses his anger, which means he could become explosive when angered, will watch this as he ages, how he modulates anger as he matures.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 56m56 minutes ago
Kinscherff says concern is how #TylerHadley will manage his anger, as he showed an intense rage during fatal attacks on parents, said that would have been extremely difficult to predict then, suicide would have been more expected, based on his past behavior, dr testifies.


angelarozier‏Verified account @wpbf_angela 54m54 minutes ago
Psychologist testifies for the defense during day 5 of the #TylerHadley re-sentencing hearing. He talks about #TylerHadley being tested for anger while he was incarcerated. @WPBF25News


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 50m50 minutes ago
As Kinscherff testifies, #TylerHadley looks at him listens and rests left hand on face as he rocks slightly in his chair. Subject now is what made his kill parents, why that day on July 16, 2011? Hard to know what to look for to predict such a brutal attack, dr says.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 46m46 minutes ago
Kinscherff: parricide is rare, this is "even rarer of the rare," due to lack of violence, no domestic violence in #TylerHadley home, no grave mental illness. At time, had elements in life that "put him on this pathway." Said suicide would be more expected than this brutal crime.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 38m38 minutes ago
Kinscherff says #TylerHadley's parents, Blake and Mary Jo "took reasonable steps" to get him mental health and medical help before murders, not all parents do that, he says. They did.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Michelle Quesada‏Verified account @M_Quesada 23m23 minutes ago
Psychologist doesn't give defense team straight answer on what the prospect of rehabilitation is for #TylerHadley. Dr. Kinscherff said he can only see that Hadley has not had disciplinary issues in jail like most juveniles do when they've been jailed for a long period of time.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 22m22 minutes ago
Kinscherff: science can't predict future behavior, but #TylerHadley's life in prison so far shows he's matured, no sign he's so depraved that he can't mature, undergo rehabilitation, hasn't been perfect in prison, but shown to avoid gangs, inmate conflicts.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 17m17 minutes ago
Kinscherff concludes #TylerHadley is capable of rehabilitation, yes, he committed heinous crime, but he's not irretrievably corrupt or irreparably depraved to point he can't be rehabilitated. Defense done w/ him, state cross begins.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 14m14 minutes ago
Right before Chief ASA Tom Bakkedahl begins cross of Kinscherff, #TylerHadley's grandma Maggie DiVittorio leaves court w/ her son Sam. State Attorney Bruce Colton just entered court to watch hearing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 5m5 minutes ago
Bakkedahl in #TylerHadley hearing asks Robert Kinscherff why would someone "fake bad" on psych tests? Sometimes it's to raise issues of competency, or issues of mitigation, dr replies. True insanity defense rare, he agrees.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 13m13 minutes ago
Kinscherff agrees w/ Bakkedahl, #TylerHadley manipulated parents before murders, lied to cops, lied to psych experts after murders. And he agrees that plan after his arrest "didn't work," didn't help him. so now has decided to become truthful. But what are his options? State asks


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 8m8 minutes ago
Kinscherff: "I'm not here to determine credibility, it's up to the court to determine credibility." Says his roll is to gather info, as best he can, and give that info to the finder of facts. State Cross exam in #TylerHadley hearing may take hours today.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 37s37 seconds ago
Bakkedahl asks Kinscherff when #TylerHadley decided to start telling the truth, his "come to Jesus moment," was it after 2016, when he knew he'd won his appeal and would get this resentencing? Dr says not sure when Tyler decided to start being truthful.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 2m2 minutes ago
Bakkedahl: Is it easier to tell the truth or tell a lie? Kinscherff: It depends on the circumstances you are in. Being asked about #TylerHadley's pattern of lying to psych experts after arrest. He was diagnosed with depression then, put on meds, in part because of his lies.

Lunch break is over in #TylerHadley resentencing and Robert Kinscherff’s back on stand for state cross exam.

#TylerHadley resentencing hearing continues, testimony of Dr. Kinscherff resumes with cross examination from prosecutor. We are streaming live on @WPTV.com

LIVE: Day 5 of the Tyler Hadley resentencing hearing


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 14m14 minutes ago
Prosecutor Tom Bakkedahl back with Robert Kinscherff on stand at #TylerHadley hearing, they are going to review Tyler's many lies and malingering with mental health experts before his first sentencing in 2014.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 10m10 minutes ago
When #TylerHadley was evaluated in 2013 by state expert, he agreed he lied about hearing voices in his head. He won his appeal in April 2016, so new defense experts were hired to evaluate him before this hearing.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 4m4 minutes ago
Interesting, defense psychologist Robert Kinscherff won't call #TylerHadley's prior statements "lies," calls them "inconsistencies" because he can't know his motive for saying what he did, he tells Prosecutor Tom Bakkedahl.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 6m6 minutes ago
Bakkedahl asking Kinscherff about #TylerHadley's smoking pot in prison, Tyler admits that in 2017, later said he didn't take harder drugs because they cost more than on the streets. Also told a state expert he'd smoked pot just few months ago.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 3m3 minutes ago
Bakkedahl now going over #TylerHadley history of alcohol and drug use, how young he was: at times he's said 12 or 13, other experts he's said not until 15 or so. State suggests Tyler was motivated to lie about being younger when he started taking drugs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------











 
Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 10m10 minutes ago
As state presses Robert Kinscherff on #TylerHadley past drug use, Tyler leans in and talks to his lawyer PD Diamond Litty, writes a note to her, he's paying close attention to this part.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 4m4 minutes ago
State going over #TylerHadley statements about drinking drug use day of murders. Friends who saw him said he barely drank that day; Tyler has told experts, including Kinscherff he drank 18-30 beers before killing; could be a lie, Kinscherff concedes. Or exaggeration, he says.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 3m3 minutes ago
Bakkedahl reminds Kinscherff #TylerHadley reported he had "drum beat" in head of obsessive thoughts of killing parents in July 2011, but he told others it was a voice in head, on and off, mostly at night. Inconsistent, state points out. Started sharing his thoughts days before.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 9m9 minutes ago
State in #TylerHadley hearing asking Robert Kinscherff about "catathymia" which describes an act of extreme violence that has no obvious motivation, kind of like an explosive disorder, term was used to explain Tyler's obsessive thought process before brutally beating parents.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 1m1 minute ago
Watching this extended cross by state is, #TylerHadley's paternal aunt Linda Ankrom, uncle Mike Hadley, wife Cindy and their daughter Tracy Zanoni. No one from Tyler's mom side of family is in court.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 7m7 minutes ago
Judge called short break in hearing, it's been a long day in court with #TylerHadley resentencing. No way will it conclude today, but likely on Monday. Could be weeks or months before judge imposes Tyler's new sentence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 12m12 minutes ago
Court begins in #TylerHadley hearing, state has large screen up with title "pathway to targeted violence." Robert Kinscherff on stand talking about catathymia, this process of violent outburst w/o obvious motive. Tom Bakkedahl says its called "heightened premeditation"


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 6m6 minutes ago
What defense expert Robert Kinscherff calls #TylerHadley's obsessive, intrusive thinking of killing his parents, state calls "premeditation" for murder.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 2m2 minutes ago
State asks Kinscherff if he knew #TylerHadley weeks before killing parents told a friend he wondered what it would be like to have a party w/ dead parents in a bedroom, exactly what he did. Also hid their phones before attacks.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 9m9 minutes ago
State notes #TylerHadley was 153 days from age 18, when he killed parents and eligibility for death penalty. Prosecutor Tom Bakkedahl going over brutality of murders, number of blows, defensive wounds suffered by Blake, Mary Jo Hadley.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 6m6 minutes ago
This testimony is hard on #TylerHadley family in court, his two aunts and cousin get tissues to wipe tears from their faces. Defense team look like they wish this part would end soon.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 17m17 minutes ago
Prosecutor Tom Bakkedahl notes #TylerHadley had a journal that's in evidence, one entry stated "I could have stopped myself" from killing parents July 16, 2011. notes night before murders went into bedroom stood over parents contemplated killing but backed off until the next day


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 15m15 minutes ago
PD Diamond Litty asks for sidebar, white noise turned on as she speaks to judge in #TylerHadley hearing. She's shaking her head as if not happy at all.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 13m13 minutes ago
Sidebar in #TylerHadley hearing over, Bakkedahl back quizzing defense psychologist Robert Kinscherff in cross examination.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 8m8 minutes ago
Kinscherff agrees science can't predict what #TylerHadley will be like at age 40 or 50 in prison as to rehabilitation, future dangerousness. Litty wants judge to dismiss talk of Tyler's criminal misconduct that's unproven.


Melissa E. Holsman‏Verified account @MHolsman 3m3 minutes ago
State done with Kinscherff, now defense does redirect, but Litty says she will finish today, dr has plane to catch in morning, so does #TylerHadley grandmother, who will take stand again today Litty says.

As prosecutor Tom Bakkedahl sits at the state's table in court, his laptop is open to a color photo of Blake and Mary Jo Hadley, #TylerHadley's parents he killed in 2011. The Hadley family is seated right behind Bakkedahl in court.

Maggie DiVittorio, #TylerHadley's maternal grandmother returns to court w/ son Sam, assuming she will take stand again soon. She testified when defense began their side of his resentencing hearing. Unclear what she's expected to say today.
