The filing also said Staley Clark should not have required a defense expert, psychologist David Diamond, to turn over notes of his interviews with Harris to the prosecution. Diamond, who has coined the term Forgotten Baby Syndrome, was expected to take the stand and explain how a parent can leave a child in a car by accident.
Allowing prosecutors to have Diamonds notes put Harris defense team in an untenable position, the motion said. The defense chose not to call Diamond to give his expert testimony.
