Case Scenario: Audrey has been charged with three counts of premeditated murder.
As defense counsel is preparing for trial, he has retained you interview her to gather information about her psychological status in order to build his case. He tells you that
she is friendly, but guarded and less than forthcoming with sharing details about her life. He also informs you that she can shift from flat to bubbly and seems not to care that she is facing the death penalty. You are not conducting any assessments, but rather simply a structured interview to get an understanding of her version of events, as well as personality traits to report back to defense counsel.
History: Audrey, a 22-year-old female, was raised in foster care after being removed from her single father’s care at the age of 3. There is no known history of Audrey’s mother and CPS records are sealed; however, her removal to foster care was reportedly secondary to severe maltreatment and neglect. While in foster care, Audrey was moved to eight different homes for reasons ranging from harming foster siblings, attacking a foster parent, expulsion from school, to running away. When Audrey aged out of the system, she sought out her biological father and learned that he had long ago passed away. With no other means of support, Audrey soon began seeking relationships with married, older men. In demand for money to survive, Audrey would threaten to tell the wife of her affair with the married man, if he did not pay.
This scheme worked well until Audrey met 50-year-old Billy Joe and the two formed a connection. For
