University Physicians Healthcare

Psychiatrists at University Physicians Healthcare hospital^[1] (UPH) falsified records and concealed relevant information from the court deciding whether to involuntarily commit me. A “tech” (orderly)^[2] stated that the doctors were intent on taking my legal right to possess firearms, regardless of the actual state of my mental health, and that they were deliberately misdiagnosing me for that purpose.

The diagnoses rendered by the UPH doctors conformed to no professionally recognized nosological system such as DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association).

Marty (Martin) Newman

Psychiatrist Marty Newman told me that he had the ability to manipulate the courts, and he asked me for a bribe. I declined to pay it, and Newman proceeded to make perjurious statements about me, to the Pima County Superior Court on 2007-Sep-17 and to the U.S. District Court (Arizona) on 2007-Oct-23^[3].

Christine Pletkova

Psychiatrist Christine Pletkova exhibited profound impairment in receptive and expressive language functioning, which impairment interfered seriously in her occupational functioning. Communicating with patients is an essential part of her job, but she barely spoke or understood English. Pletkova threatened to have me committed indefinitely if I continued taking notes on her conduct.

Pletkova misreported statements made by third-parties.

Shawn Channel

Psychologist Shawn Channel, instead of providing an independent opinion, rather uncritically based his “opinion” on misinformation (false reports) from UPH. Channel overlooked essential evidence, discounted essential evidence known to him, and concealed essential evidence from the readers of his report.^[4] He made material false allegations, and he uncritically conveyed false allegations made by third parties. He made diagnoses without justification, and he based his opinions on false premises.

Channel claimed that without medication, I supposedly was likely to “persist in delusional beliefs”; however, Channel holds no license to prescribe medication, and there was no apparent scientific basis for his opinion. I did not even believe the things Channel claimed I believed, so I could not very well have “persisted” in believing them.

Channel noted that I did not appear to have insight into any need for medication. I had insight that Shawn Channel was recommending I be medicated for the supposed treatment of beliefs which I did not even hold.

Furthermore:

1. 1994 -- 1996. I date Vice President Gore’s daughter, detailed here.
2. 1999. She betrays and insults me by insisting my physical health complaints are “mental” and orders me to see a psychiatrist. She knows nothing about medicine; she is a science-ignoramus and a fool. The evidence about my health is here.
3. 2001. U.S. Presidential election Bush v. Gore goes to Bush after a close call. I email her and tell her I am glad that Gore lost and Bush won. She email-blocks me.
4. 2008. A “forensic psychologist” employed by the U.S. DOJ reports that I once “attacked” an ex-girlfriend (unnamed) in email “to the extent” that she “had to” block me. The psychologist then cites that 2001 incident as a reason for his opinion that I am likely to commit violence in 2009 unless civil committed.

The DOJ testified I should be civilly committed for having emailed Vice President Gore’s daughter that I was glad Bush had won the Presidential election.

Barry Morenz

Psychiatrist Barry Morenz^[5] argued I should be committed for having stated that:

• a U.S. Probation Officer had made false statements;^[6]
• the Tucson court is “a factory for processing illegal aliens”;
• some lawyers had done “the bare minimum”;^[7] and
• a judge was not “enforcing… an adequate level of attorney conduct”.^[8]

Morenz testified:^[9]

Well, that this same pattern of mistrust, suspiciousness, feeling that the attorneys are not doing their job, that are incompetent and are — do not have his best interests in mind have been repeated not just once, not just twice, but on multiple occasions. So they kind of reinforce the idea that Mr. MacGuineas has some serious psychiatric difficulties.

Compare: Unethical Lawyers and Arizona State Bar: Hides Lawyers’ Misconduct from the Public. Lawyers have hired Morenz “maybe a couple thousand” times to conduct forensic mental-health evaluations.^[10] Attorney Steven Sherick confided to me that Morenz is widely regarded as a “whore” for lawyers: willing to give any “professional opinion” he is paid to give.

Conclusion

The U.S. Supreme Court has observed “justice may not be done in a corner nor in any covert manner”;^[11] and it has recognized:

The public-trial guarantee [was] created for the benefit of the defendant,^[12]

and

The rights and liberties of people accused of crime [cannot] be safely entrusted to secret inquisitorial processes.^[13]

Also:

A secret examination ... is fraught with dangers of the highest degree to a witness who may be prosecuted on charges related to or resulting from his interrogation. ... The witness has no effective way to challenge his interrogator’s testimony as to what was said and done at the secret inquisition. The officer’s version frequently may reflect an inaccurate understanding of an accused's statements or, on occasion, may be deliberately distorted or falsified. While the accused may protest against these misrepresentations, his protestations will normally be in vain. This is particularly true when the officer is accompanied by several of his assistants and they all vouch for his story. But when the public, or even the suspect’s counsel, is present the hazards to the suspect from the officer's misunderstanding or twisting of his statements or conduct are greatly reduced.^[14]

In order to create a full and reliable record, all government-ordered mental-health examinations should be videotaped, and these results, along with all other medical records, should be provided to defendants. Agencies claiming they are unable to implement these safeguards^[15] should be prohibited from conducting such examinations.
