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.
