My highly speculative theory on disappearance of Dr. Diamond
- I think the defense team did not provide Dr. Diamond detailed information relating to RH's June 18th activities (sexting, Whisper, needing an escape, Lightbulb trip) which are pertinent and salient information in forming his opinion. RH also probably didn't tell him about his sexting and other activities during the interview with Dr D.
- During preparation for his testimony Dr. D learned more about RH and his activities on June 18th. I think Dr. Diamond then informed the defense team that he cannot give favorable testimony or that he would not testify. Maybe around end of October? (see below for how Dr. Diamond typically works)
-The defense team hurriedly found Dr. Brewer as a replacement. Also didn't inform him all pertinent information. Dr. Brewer learned about sexting from Boring during cross from Boring. While crossing Dr. Brewer, Boring mentioned Dr. D in a manner that he seemed to know Dr. D won't be testifying. I heard it that way anyway.
-During lunch last Thursday, for whatever reason, Dr A pulled out abruptly upsetting Kilgore a great deal. Maybe Dr A just learned that Dr. D won't be testifying? Reluctant to do PTSD presentation if Dr. D won't back up FBS? IDK.

---------The defense touched on how Dr. Diamond worked and how he would be used in these types of cases. He is initially paid $5,000 to look into the case and investigate. Then, after he investigates, he is paid another $5,000. But Diamond said he will only testify in cases he determines to be accidents.------------------------------
Dr. Diamond knew of the lunchtime visit to car by June 30, 2014, because he included that fact in his op-ed, same with RH's vet video "research."
He also knew, along with the rest of the world, that RH had been indicted on charges relating to having sexual exchanges with minors. If he had any intention of steering clear of RH's case because RH wasn't a sympathetic enough case to get involved with, that's more than what he would have needed to know.
I haven't seen a shred of evidence to suggest the DT hasn't been thoroughly ethical, professional, and diligent every step of the way in this case (unlike LE and the State, sorry to say). There's no way they withheld information from Dr. Diamond he would have needed to know before putting his own reputation on the line, and there is no way he wouldn't have asked to be provided with every bit of info the DT could provide for context.
If you listen closely to Brewer's cross, what is made apparent is that the information the State kept implying was withheld from Brewer for nefarious reasons was nothing of the kind. Brewer hadn't been given the extractions of phone and computer records, and he said he couldn't testify as to what others had testified to during trial. That's it. He said he WAS aware of sexting, prostitutes, minors . Fact is, the DT didn't fail to tell him anything that was relevant to his testimony.
