Correct me if I'm wrong, but I distinctly recall Masipa saying that he could be given another 30 day evaluation, if the panel thinks they need more time to draw a conclusion.
Others have received back to back evaluation periods upon application at the end of the period, so there's a precedent.
Personally, having worked as a psych evaluation test administrator and report-preparer, I think they are going to need more than thirty days if he is an out-patient. They won't have the luxury of noting patient-to-patient interactions which take place at random times during the day. They may have to use structured situations.
Doctors can be very creative on how they structure situations to provide observation opportunities. We had one doctor who used a dog, another a parrot. He would ask questions (of children) like, "What do you think he is thinking?"
LOL. I don't think you are wrong. I don't know what Judge Masipa can do if she thinks OP needs 30 more days. I didn't hear that, but if you did, I'm sure you are correct.
I simply thought it was interesting, with all the insanity in this case, that Annamarie, origins a bit suspect, sanity a bit suspect, could seem to predict, from a dream, the evaluation that was eventually ordered.
And all from a dream about Oscar Pistorius's mother asking for this before the bond hearing! No one could make this up!!
