    During this hearing, it was revealed by psychiatrist Dr Claudia Camden-Smith that during an assessment, Kurtaj had stated his intention to return to his life of crime upon being released.

    Whatever happened to psychiatrist-patient privacy and all that?

      This isn’t “his doctor”. It’s an independent doctor making an evaluation for the purpose of determining if he’s competent to stand trial. It’s not private.

        Ahhh, I misunderstood. That makes more sense.

              Their question didn’t come off as inquisitive, it sounded rhetorical and a bit sarcastic.

              Like asking your roommate “what happened to cleaning our dishes after we eat?” to have them respond with “those are yours”.

            You can’t learn something if you don’t ask. Never put someone down for seeking information. That’s how you get people who are too self-conscious to ask basic questions, go through their lives knowing nothing and being mistaken for idiots.

      If it’s an evaluation for the case, then it’s going to be used in the case.
