Judge orders evaluation of Bradley Cooper

RALEIGH - Bradley Cooper will have to submit to a psychological evaluation by an expert chosen by his wife's parents, a Wake District Court judge ruled today.
The decision came in a connection with a custody fight between Cooper and the parents of his slain wife, Nancy. The two sides are in a dispute over custody of Bradley and Nancy Cooper's daughters.

No one has been charged in the death of Nancy Cooper, a Cary stay-at-home mother whose body was found July 14 in an undeveloped area of a subdivision near her home. Under a temporary agreement, Nancy Cooper's parents and her sister have custody of her daughters, ages 4 and 2.

This news comes the same day Nancy's husband Brad was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, from a professional chosen by her family. This is ahead of a custody hearing October 16th. The couple's two daughters have been in the custody of Nancy's family.

Brad Cooper has repeatedly denied any involvement in his wife's death. It has been well documented that he and his wife had marital problems before she was found murdered.

The judge hearing the upcoming custody case says she will take into consideration everything, given how the safety of the two young girls is at stake.

Brad Cooper Grilled For Seven Hours But NOT By Police
5am
10/10/2008

Police in Carey, North Carolina say their investigation of Nancy Cooper's murder is being hindered by her husband's refusal to fully co-operate. The lead investigator in the July 12th murder of the former Edmonton area woman says Brad Cooper "has not been willing to come to the police department to assist in the investigation" despite formal requests from Cary police to do so. Cary police Detective George Daniels, who has watched a video deposition Brad Cooper gave, said in an affidavit filed ysterday that statements

In his deposition Cooper admitted details of an affair he had with one of his wife's friends but then said Nancy had her own problems. He said she spent more than the family could afford and she drank too much for his liking. Brad Cooper also revealed he has hired his own investigator but WRAL-TV says he refused to tell attorneys for his wife's family why, citing lawyer-client privilege.
