Los Angeles Superior Court is facing scrutiny following a motion by attorney Paul Cook to recuse Judge Kalra in the elderly abuse case of Kwon Whan Cook. This legal action uncovers deeper issues of judicial corruption tied to a network of professionals all linked to UCLA. Cook, alongside forensic psychiatrist Dr. Eric M. Wexler and psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman, has connections that reveal UCLA's role in a system that critics say enforces control through psychiatric evaluations.
Dr. Wexler, MD, PhD, has established himself in forensic psychiatry, navigating the realms of law and mental health that blur ethical lines. Paul Cook, with a robust educational background from UCLA, challenges judicial integrity, while Dr. Lieberman has garnered attention for her media presence and role in legitimizing the use of psychiatric evaluations to discredit individuals in litigation.
The UCLA connection raises critical questions about the institution's influence on California’s psychiatric-legal landscape. The 5150 protocol, initially designed for emergency situations, is now scrutinized for its potential misuse in silencing whistleblowers and controlling legal narratives. Observers worry about this 'quiet coup' affecting perceived justice.
Ultimately, the overlap among these key figures underscores a troubling institutional genealogy, pressuring the public to reconsider who governs justice in California and the integrity of psychiatric assessments within the legal system.
