Farwell’s Psychiatrist Studied Sandra Birchmore’s Records and Said This

Dr. Melissa Piasecki, a forensic psychiatrist from Nevada, took the stand for the defense and told the jury that Sandra Birchmore’s therapy notes, childhood records, and 2017 journal all pointed toward suicide risk she’d carry forever. She read from Sandra’s last therapy note and said Sandra feared something bad would happen and she wouldn’t be found for days. Piasecki called it evidence of suicidal thinking. The therapist who wrote that note and met Sandra the day before she died testified that Sandra was worried about something happening to her inside her apartment and showed no plans to end her own life. On cross, the prosecutor asked Piasecki what she knew about Sandra’s last day. She couldn’t answer. The defense expects to rest by Wednesday. Farwell faces mandatory life if convicted.
