Summary:

The defense psychiatrist said he had not examined Lindsay or evaluated criminal responsibility; he discussed treatment records, reported deterioration, laboratory considerations, and medication complications before cross began.

Body:

[SWORN TESTIMONY] Dr. Donald Condie identified himself as a child, adolescent, adult clinical and forensic psychiatrist. He testified that he had never met, interviewed, or examined Lindsay Clancy and had not evaluated criminal responsibility; he consulted on psychopharmacology and reviewed treatment records. [SWORN TESTIMONY] He criticized some records as sparse, described reported deterioration, discussed postpartum laboratory considerations, and said his review found no blood testing by two named providers. [UNKNOWN] Cross-examination was still underway at the noon cutoff, so this card does not characterize his completed opinion or the eventual scope of cross-examination.
