Psychologist Testifies at Matusiewicz Trial

Mugshots

There was no evidence of any bi-polar or multiple-personality disorders by Christine Belford.

That was the testimony of a forensic psychologist who examined her during a 2006 custody battle with the Matusiewicz family.

That dispute eventually led to the shooting death of Belford and a friend by Thomas Matusiewicz who got into a gunfight with security at the Delaware courthouse where eventually took his own life.

The testimony of Samuel Romirowsky came amid allegations by the Matusiewicz that she was suffering from these and other mental illnesses.

The son David and his mother Lenore along with his sister Amy Gonzalez are charged with cyberstalking with the intent to kill Belford.
