Someone needs to lose their job

This makes me angry!! The guy who testified against Brian David Mitchell got paid half a million dollars by Utah tax payers. Who’s the bozo that in the authorized the use of this guy. Is there that big of a difference between spending life in prison vs. life in a mental institution? They couldn’t find an expert for $40,000.

“Dr. Michael Welner testified about his 205-page report, which concluded that the 57-year-old Mitchell was competent to stand trial, but suffers from an anti-social personality disorder, psychopathy and alcohol abuse.

Welner’s evaluation of Mitchell, for which prosecutors paid more than $500,000, was sought by the government after a federal prison hospital evaluator, Dr. Richart DeMier, said he believed Mitchell was not competent for trial.” http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20024997-504083.html

“Dr. Michael Welner and his consulting firm, the Forensic Panel, were paid a jaw-dropping $242,966.74 for work on the second Yates trial.”

As far as I’m concerned, Michael Welner is a predator as well.
