Well, their testimonies must have been pretty damaging to the defense because now the state has added them to their witness list. LOVE IT.
I cannot wait to hear what their 'diagnosis' was, if any. I seem to remember that the consensus was that NO MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES were found. If so, that is detrimental to the defense because how can they explain the 31 days?

Now the STATE put the Defense mental health doctors on the STATE Witness List!!
And Dr. Danziger is the doctor who Judge S assigned to do the initial psych eval on the Inmate in July 2008.
And Dr. Danziger is the doctor who the DEFENSE abruptly stopped his deposition on April 7th, and then withdrew this doctor from both the Guilt Phase and Penalty Phase Defense Witness Lists.
The Defense also removed Dr. Weitz from the Defense Guilt Phase Witness List.

Oh happy day!!! I have been waiting since day 31 to find out what a psych eval would prove about kc! I would bet the farm that there are a multitude of Axis II disorders (personality disorders).
BTW . . . In Session had a clip on this morning w/Vinnie P and JB, where Vinnie asked about kc being more "engaged" in her defense recently due to her rifling through papers and constantly writing. JB said some thing to the effect of he didn't want to make comments about kc but he did want to let everyone know that she was highly intelligent and was able to understand everything that was occurring in her case. JB just confirmed that there will be no "diminshed capacity" issue for the courts, in that her IQ and ability to understand the court proceedings and the consequences.
I love that pic you got of Casey down there. She looks :crazy:
OKAY, so according to the states Motion in Limine as to the Mental Health Testimony, these doctors submitted their reports on March 25th. So after reading the testimony the state asked to quash the information. BUT THEN, during the deposition on April 7th, it was the defense that abruptly halted the proceedings and tried to keep the testimony out. And the state then proceeded to ADD the experts to their witness list. WOW.
Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when the DT found out the SA listed those doctors as witnesses! You cannot make this stuff up!
I would love to have been a fly in the cell to see ICA's reactions to all of this evidence coming in....I bet she was frushtrated beyond belief and couldn't schwallow and her life depends on it...
Glorious day in Orange County Detention Center...I wonder if she will now look to change her plea...she is far from innocent even as she protests her innocence, the cards are stacked against her...JMHO
Justice for Caylee

The Defense still has several hurdles to get over.... the State will insist on having their own mental health expert examine the Inmate and I doubt they will arrive at a diagnosis of PTSD at the time Caylee was murdered.
The Defense does not even want the State expert to examine their client.
They have to wait to see what Motions the State files, and how the Judge rules on that issue.
Finnell was saying there is no Statute which would apply to allow the State to have the Defendant examined by a State expert, because the Defense is not claiming a mental health "defense" to murder, and is not claiming diminished capacity.
I believe the Defense will try to say that PTSD is the reason the Defendant did not act appropriately when SOMEONE ELSE killed Caylee ... not that PTSD caused the Inmate to kill Caylee.
The Defense has to wait to see if the Judge will allow them to add the PTSD doctor late - Dr. Weitz. The Judge may not agree that the "good cause" the Defense offered is good enough and not allow this doctor to be added to the witness list or to testify.
The Defense still has a long way to go to even get any PTSD testimony before the jury.
I do not think ICA will ever plea on this. I think the DT was going with "please excuse ICA for the murder of her daughter because she grew up in a dysfunctional family and she had a bad day."
