Baldwin Continued from Page 1 second interview. At that meeting, Baldwin exhibited signs of psychosis, manifested by paranoia, anxiety and hostility. Baldwin also led Riedler to be lieve that at the time of the attack in January, he suffered from ‘thought broadcasting,’ where Baldwin be lieved that people were able to read his thoughts, Riedler said. Baldwin also felt that Riedler was trying to plant ‘images’ in his mind, forcing Baldwin to answer questions in cer tain ways, the psychiatrist said. Riedler changed his diagnosis in part because Baldwin was acting in a controlled manner, using the responses taught to him by his therapist. This was nol necessarily a bad ihing, and appeared to be highly effective with Baldwin, whom Ricdlcr cal led “highly disciplined and driven” as a result of his participation in sports. Responding to questioning from County Attorney Gary Lacey, Ricdlcr recommended further evaluation. Al though it was not certain that he con tinues to be a danger, Ricdlcr said that under the law, the alternative, that he is nol mentally ill and not dangerous to himself or others, is not kxcptable. The psychiatrist who is currently treating Baldwin, Dr. Donald Swanson, disagreed with Riedler. According to tests done on a PET (Positive Electron Tomography) scan, which measures glucose levels in cer tain areas of the brain, the results ruled out a schi/oform disorder, and instead indicated major depression. Furthermore,a diagnosisol a rmxxl disorder, such as depression, excludes thought disorders such as schi/olorm, according locurrcnt psychiatric diag nostic prtxxdurcs. Swanson stated that no further evaluation was needed, but that all concerned should “remain vigilant” to prevent a recurrence. He also de nied that at the present Baldwin was not a danger to the community. Merritt took the matter under ad visement until next week. In other action, Baldwin and his doctors, coaches and legal counsel determined that Baldwin will not be playing football for UNL this fall.
