In Emotional Damages, host and forensic expert Dr. Mark Levy sits down with forensic colleagues, shedding light on their journeys and experiences. Through this podcast, he aims to demystify forensic psychiatry and share practical insights that can aid attorneys in their engagement with forensic experts.
In this episode of Emotional Damages, Dr. Mark Levy speaks with Dr. Charles Scott—triple‑board‑certified in adult, child & adolescent, and forensic psychiatry; past president of AAPL; creator of the UC Davis forensic psychiatry fellowship; and a leading educator and expert in high‑profile cases, including the Parkland school shooter sentencing. Dr. Scott discusses how he trains fellows to think like forensic “psychopathologists,” marshal evidence, integrate structured psychological and malingering tests, and build opinions that withstand cross‑examination in insanity, competency, brain injury, and child trauma cases. He also shares lessons from serving on a criminal jury himself, his ethical reasoning in capital cases, and practical guidance for attorneys on what records and data they should always obtain.
