a
NEGOTIATION THAT WENT ON IN THE SPRING OF 19797
A. YES, SIR.
Q. AND DID YOU PARTICIPATE IN THOSE
DISCUSSIONS?
A. I BASCIALLY WAS A WITNESS AS DESCRIBED
EARLIER BY MR, MINERVA. I WAS THERE.
Q. LET ME ASK YOU TO LOOK AT EXHIBIT
EIGHTEEN AND EXHIBIT NINTEEN.
A. YES, SIR.
Q. CAN YOU IDENTIFY EXHIBIT EIGHTEEN?
A. EXHIBIT EIGHTEEN [S$ A HANDWRITTEN
MEMORANDUM THAT I WROTE DATED 5/25/79 AND IT--
MR. MENSER: EXCUSE ME, YOUR HONOR. WE
WOULD MAKE THE SAME REQUEST WE DID THIS MORNING
REGARDING ANY WAIVER OF ATTORNEY/ CLIENT PRIVILEGE
FOR MR. BUNDY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COPY OF
CONDITIONAL MEMORANDUM.

25
ATTORNEY/ CLIENT PRIVILEGE AT THIS TIME.
MR. BUNDY: YES.
THE COURT: THANK YOU. THEY WILL BE
ADMITTED.
A. IT DEALT WITH THE PLEA NEGOTIATION AND
WHAT HAPPENED IN’ THE COURT, WHAT HAPPENED LEADING
UP TO THE PLEA NEGOTIATION.
Q. AND THESE WERE PREPARED 8Y WHOM?
A. . BY ME. CONTEMPORANEOUSLY HANDWRITTEN.
Q. NOW, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT WAS THE EFFECT
OF THE PLEA NEGOTIATION, IN YOUR OPINION, ON THE
DEFENSE TEAMS ABILITY TO PREPARE FOR THE TRIAL?
A. WELL, IT WAS MY OPINION WE WERE WITHIN A
MONTH OF THE ACTUAL TRIAL DATE AND EITHER OUR TIME
SHOULD HAVE BEEN SPENT PREPARING FOR TRIAL OR
WORKING THIS PLEA AGREEMENT OUT. BECAUSE OF THE
FACT WE HAD TO TO SPEND ALL OF OUR TIME WORKING THE
PLEA AGREEMENT OUT WE WERE OBVIOUSLY NOT PREPARED
FOR TRIAL. AND THE EFFECT, WHEN IT FELL THROUGH,
WAS THAT IT WAS DEVISTATING. WE KNEW WE HAD WASTED
ALL THAT TIME.
Q. NOW, YOUR OFFICE WAS APPOINTED TO
REPRESENT MR. BUDDY IN THE CHI OMEGA CASE IN
DECEMBER OF 1978, I BELIEVE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT
WAS THE STATE OF HIS PREPERATION OF TRIAL AT THAT
22
Sa
cy
POINT WHEN YOU TOOK OVER?
A. WE GOT APPOINTED IN MAYBE DECEMBER 78
JANUARY 79. ,
Q. YES?
A. OKAY. WHEN I GOT INVOLVED IT WAS NOT
PREPARED. NOW I GOT INVOLVED WITH THE CHI OMEGA
CASE WHEN WE FIRST~- RIGHT AFTER WE WERE FIRST
FORMALLY APPOINTED AND IT WAS NOT PREPARED.
Q. DO YOU RECALL AT THAT TIME WHEN THE TRIAL
WAS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN?
A. WELL, I KNOW IT HAD A NUMBER OF DATES
THAT HAS BEEN SET AND I GUESS WHEN I GOT INVOLVED
IN JANUARY IT WAS SET FOR SOMETIME MAYSE IN MARCH.
Q. AND WHEN DID THE TRIAL FINALLY TAKE
PLACE?
A. JUNE.
Q. NOW, LET ME ASK YOU TO TURN BACK TO THE
PLEA NEGOTIATION. AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOUR
OBSERVATION OF MR. BUNDY'S APPROACH TO THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS WAS?
A. HE~~ I'M NOT SURE I CAN DESCRIBE IT MUCH
BETTER THAN MR. MINERVA DID BECAUSE HE WAS VERY~~
HE WOULD TALK TO ONE SET OF PEOPLE AND SAY ONE
THING. I THINK AT LEAST TO THOSE PEOPLE HE SAID
THOSE THINGS AND WHEN HE TALKED TO US HE WOULD Say
23
23
24
25
SOMETHING ELSE TO ME SPECIFICALLY. I DON'T THINK TI
EVER HAD A DOUBT HE WOULD NOT ENTER THE PLEA.
Q. WHY DID YOU BELIEVE HE WOULD NOT ENTER
THE PLEA?
A. 1 DIDN'T THINK NUMBER ONE HE COULD-~ WELL
Let ME BACK UP A LITTLE BIT. NUMBER ONE, I REALLY
THINK HE WAS SINCERE IN THINKING THE STATE DID NoT
HAVE A CASE IN SPITE OF ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT THEY
HAD BECAUSE LIKE I SAID HE COULD ONLY LOOK AT ONE
ISSUE AT A TIME.
Q. DID YOU SHARE HIS OPINION, BY THE WAY,
THAT THE STATE DID NOT HAVE A CASE?
A. NO, SIR. NO, SIR.
Q. DO YOU THINK THAT THAT OPINION WAS
CONSISTANT WITH THE FACTS?
A. HIS OPINION?
Q. Yes.
A. NO, SIR.
Q. NOW, GO AHEAD. YOU WERE~~
A. WHAT I'M STATING IS I DON'T THINK HE
UNDERSTOOD THE CASE AND I DON'T THINK HE UNDERSTOOD
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM AND I
DON'T THINK-~ I DION'’T THINK THAT HE COULD GET UP
IN COURT AND ADMIT TO THE ALLEGATIONS.
Q. DID YOU HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT WHETHER THE
PLEA AGREEMENT WAS IN MR. BUNDY'S INTEREST?
A. YES, SIR.
Q. AND WHAT WAS THAT OPINION?
A. DEFINETELY YES, SIR. I THOUGHT IF HE
WENT TO TRIAL HE WOULD BE CONVICTED AND WOULD, IF
HE WAS CONVICTED, PROBABLY GET A DEATH PENALTY.
AND I SAW OUR ROLL AS TO TRY TO DEPEND HIM THE BEST
OF OUR ABILITY AND. THAT DEFENSE WAS TO SAVE HIS
LIFE.
Q. NOW YOU WERE PRESENT AT THE PROCEEDING AT
WHICH ARE THE PLEA AGREEMENT WAS OFFERED?
A. YES, SIR.
Q. CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY DESCRIBE WHAT
HAPPENED THERE?
A. WELL, MY PERSPECTIVE WAS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT. I HAD BEEN THERE WHEN THE AGREEMENT WAS
SIGNED THE NIGHT BEFORE. AND AS EVERYBODY LEFT THE
ROOM TED CAUGHT MY EYE AND JUST KIND OF SHOOK HIS
HEAD NO AND 1 DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT BUT I HAD
MY IDEAS. THE NEXT DAY WHEN WE GOT INTO COURT AND
I OBSERVED WHAT HAPPENED. HE BASICALLY GOT UP, HE
HAD TWO SETS OF PAPERS. HE HAD PAPERS WITH THE
PLEA THAT HAD BEEN SIGNED AND HE HAD THE MOTION
AGAINST MR. MINERVA IN OUR OFFICE. AND HE SAT UP
LITERALLY FOR & PERIOD OF TIME AND IN UTTER SILENCE
25
i
if
I
i
24
25
GOING BACK AND FORTH AND FINALLY PICKED ONE AND THE
ONE WAS THE MOTION.
Q. NOW, DURING THE TIME THAT YOU WERE
TNVOLVED IN THE DEFENSE OF MR. BUNDY DID YOU HAVE A
QUESTION IN YOUR MIND ABOUT HIS MENTAL CONDITION?
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME AT WHAT POINT THAT You
FIRST BEGAN TO HAVE A QUESTION?
A. I BEGAN TO HAVE A QUESTION THE FIRST TIME
I READ THE FACTS OF THE CASE AND MET WITH MR.
BUNDY.
Q. CAN YOU DESCRIBE IN TERMS OF YOUR MEETING
WITH MR. BUNDY WHAT IT WAS THAT RAISED THE QUESTION
FOR YOU ABOUT HIS MENTAL CONDITION?
A. HIS TOTAL REFUSAL TO ADMIT THAT THERE WAS
ANY EVIDENCE.
Q. NOW, DID YOU EVER DISCUSS THE CONDITION
OF HIS MENTAL CONDITION WITH MR. BUNDY?
A. T DID. AND TI PARTICIPATED IN THE
DISCUSSION THAT MR. MINERVA DESCRIBED EARLIER.
I'VE GOT MEMORY TO THAT EFFECT.
Q. IT ASK YOU TO LOOK AT EXHIBIT 17.
A. YES, SIR.
Q. IS THAT THE MEMORANDUM THAT YOU REFERRED
TO?
2 6
ry
A. YES, SIR.
Q. CAN YOU JUST BRIEFLY DESCRIBE WHAT
HAPPENED DURING THAT MEETING WITH MR. @UNDY?
A. WELL, UP UNTIL THAT POINT WE~~ EACH OF US
HAD TALKED ABOUT SOME CASE, SOME PARTS OF THE CASE
WITH MR. BUNDY AND NOT ALL OF US SAT DOWN AND ~
REALLY GONE OVER EVERYTHING. AND WE THOUGHT AT
THIS POINT HE NEEDED TO KNOW. HE KEPT ON DENYING
THERE WAS ANY EVIDENCE AND WE THOUGHT THAT WE ALL
SAT DOWN HE NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STATES CASE WAS. AND BASICALLY
WE DID THAT AND WE DISCUSSED SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS
THAT WERE AVAILABLE AND INCLUDING THE DEFENSE OF
INSANITY AND INCOMPETENCE, THOSE ISSUES WHICH MR.
BUNDY REFUSED TO DISCUSS.
Q. DID YOU HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT WHETHER
INSANITY WAS A DEFENSE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT
LEAST PERSUED?
A. YES, SIR. I HAVE AN OPINION,
Q. WHAT IS THAT OPINION?
A. THAT WAS THE ONLY DEFENSE.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION BASED UPON?
A. BASED ON MY ASSESSMENT OF WHAT THE
EVIDENCE WAS AND WHAT THE STATES EVIDENCE WAS AND
THE ONLY EVIDENCE THAT MADE ANY SENSE=~~ ONLY
27
4 DEFENSE THAT MADE ANY SENSE IN THIS CASE.
o 2 Q. AND DID YOU DISCUSS THAT WITH MR. BUNDY?
3 A. YES, SIR.
4 Q. AND WITH WHAT RESULT?
5 A. MR. BUNDY WOULD NOT DIScuSss IT. HE SAID
6 tT WAS NOT AN ISSUE.
7 Q. NOW DID YOU CONSIDER THAT INCOMPETENCY
8 WAS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE PERSUED IN THIS CASE?
9 A. YES, SIR.
10 Q. AND TELL ME WHAT DID YOU BASE THAT
11 OPINION?
12 A. WELL, ORIGINALLY I HAD QUESTIONS BECAUSE
13 LIKE I DESCRIBED, THE FACT THAT WE COULDN'T SEEM TO
14 DISCUSS RATIONALLY WHAT CHOICES TO MAKE AND I THINK
15 SOMEBODY AT THAT POINT, MR. MINERVA, MADE THE
16 DECISION TO CONTACT A PSYCHIATRIST AND TRY TO GET A
17 PROFESSIONAL OPINION ON THAT ISSUE AND I AGREED A
18 HUNDRED PERCENT WITH THAT.
19 Q. LET ME ASK YOU TO LOOK AT EXHIBIT
20 FIFTEEN.
21 A. YES, SIR.
22 Q. THIS IS A LETTER DATED MAY 21, 1979 FROM
23) DR. TANAY TO MICHAEL MINERVA? WERE YOU FAMILIAR
WITH THIS DOCUMENT AT THE TIME?
o
S
Nee! 25 A. YES, SIR.
we
24
25
Q. AND WERE YOU FAMILIAR~~ WERE YOU AWARE OF
IT AT THE TIME OF THE PLEA NEGOTIATION?
A. YES, SIR.
Q. NOW, DID YOU PARTICIPATE IN AN EFFORT TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THE PLEA NEGOTIATION OUGHT TO GO
FORWARD IN LIGHT OF DR. TANAY'S REPORT?
A. YES, SIR.
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU DID?
A. WELL. IN TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT OR IN
TERMS OF THE PROCEEDING?
Q. IN TERMS OF WHETHER MR. BUNDY WAS
COMPETENT TO PURSUE THE PLEA AGREEMENT?
A. WELL, WHAT I DID IS I PARTICIPATED IN A
TELEPHONE CALL WITH DR. TANAY AND MR. MINERVA
BEFORE THE PLEA PROCEEDINGS.
Q. AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE CONCLUSION
OF THAT TELEPHONE CALL WAS?
A. THE CONCLUSION WAS BASICALLY THAT THERE
WAS A SEVERE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER HE COULD MAKE
INTELLIGENT DECISION, WHETHER HE UNDERSTOOD THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FACTS AGAINST HIM. AND I
BELIEVE THE DOCTOR TOLD US THAT HE COULDN'T TELL AT
THAT. POINT EITHER BUT IT DEPENDED REALLY ON MR.
BUNDY'S BEHAVIOR AND IF HE COULD SEE THE
RATIONALITY OF THE PLEA AGREEMENT IT WAS A GOOD
24
25
CHANCE HE WAS COMPETENT TO THAT EXTENT. AND
ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T CONCLUSIVE IF HE REJECTED IT IT
WAS ANOTHER PIECE OF EVIDENCE HE WAS NOT LOOKING AT
THIS CASE REALISTICALLY.
Q. NOW CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE EFFECT ON
THE DEFENSE TEAM WAS WHEN MR. BUNDY REJECTED THE
PLEA AGREEMENT?
A. WELL, AGAIN WE KNEW WE HAD TO~~ IT WAS
DEVISTATING IN THE SENSE THAT WE'ED HAD ONE CHANCE
TO SAVE HIS LIFE AND WE SPENT ALL OUR EFFORTS ON
DOING THAT AND IT WENT DOWN THE DRAIN. THEN WE
WERE LOOKING OF HAVING TO JUMP RIGHT IN THE JURY
TRIAL. WE HAD TO GET A NEW PERSON ON THE STAFF,
MISS GOOD, ON THE STAFF. SHE ONLY HAD COUPLE WEEKS
TO EVEN PREPARE. I ONLY BEEN ON THE CASE FOR SIX
MONTHS, MR. THOMPSON ONLY BEEN ON THE CASE FOR FOUR
MONTHS. AND WE KNEW WITHIN A MONTH~= WITHIN THREE
MONTHS WE WERE GOING IN THE TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE JURY TRIAL AND WE WERE DEVISTATED.
Q. WERE YOU AWARE OF THE COMPETENCY HEARING
HELD IN THE CHI OMEGA CASE?
A. YES.
Q.- DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE BASIS FOR THE MOTION
FILED BY-THE DEFENSE WAS?
A. IT WAS IN PART ON OR. TANAY'S OPINIONS
3 0
AND PART ON OUR OBSERVATION.
Q. DIO YOU TESTIFY AT THAT HEARING?
A. NO, SIR.
Q. OID THE STATE'S PSYCHIATRIST WHO
TESTIFIED AT THAT HEARING INTERVIEW YOU?
A. NO, SIR.
Q. MR. HARVEY, COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT MR.
BUNDY'S ROLL WAS~~
THE COURT: EXCUSE ME, MR. COLEMAN. YOU
SAID THAT IT WAS PARTLY YOUR OBSERVATION. YET HOW
WERE THEY ARTICULATED IF YOU DID NOT TESTIFY.
THE WITNESS: JUDGE I UNDERSTOOD THE
QUESTION WHY WE HAD MOVED FOR THE HEARING. THAT'S
WHY WE MOVED FOR THE HEARING. I DID NOT TESTIFY~~
THE COURT: OH, ALL RIGHT.
MR. COLEMAN: THAT'S CORRECT. THE FACT
THAT THE DEFENSE LAWYERS DID NOT TESTIFY IS THE
BASIS FOR OUR CHALLENGE IN THE CHI OMEGA CASE TO
THE ADEQUACY OF THE HEARING. THEY WERE EXCLUDED BY
ORDER OF THE COURT.
Q. NOW, MR. HARVEY, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT MR.
BUNDY'S ROLL WAS DURING THE TRIAL ITSELF?
A. WELL, DURING THE TRIAL HE WAS ALREADY
OFFICIALLY CO-COUNSEL. SO USUALLY IN A TRIAL
THERE'S CERTAIN ISSUES WHICH LIMIT LAWYERS ISSUES
81
24
25
AND THERE ARE CERTAIN ISSUES WHICH LIMIT CLIENT'S
ISSUES. IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE HE WAS OFFICIALLY
COURT APPOINTED CO-COUNSEL, WE FELT THAT HE NEEDED
TO BE INVOLVED IN ALL THE DECISIONS. SO HE ACTED IN
THE ROLL AS CO-COUNSEL. NOW DURING THE MIDDLE OF
THE TRIAL THOUGH HE WAS MADE CHIEF COUNSEL. AND
APTER THAT HE OFFICIALLY RAN THE SHOW. BEFORE THAT
IT WAS UNOFFICIAL.
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME THE CIRCUMSTANCE IN WHICH
HE BECAME CHIEF COUNSEL?
A. AGAIN, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE to Look AT THE
RECORD FOR SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS. BUT AT SOME POINT
DURING THE TRIAL MR. BUNDY RAISED A NUMBER OF
ISSUES AS TO THE FACT THAT WE HAD. NOT MET WITH HIM
EVERY NIGHT, SPEND THREE FOUR HOURS A NIGHT. HE
HAD ALREADY @oTTEN UP AND CROSS EXAMINED A WITNESS
WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS COMING. HE HAD
ALREADY TRIED To TALK ONE OF OUR LAWYERS INTO
WORKING AGAINST US. AND IT WAS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT
HIS DECISION AND WHAT HE WAS DOING DURING TRIAL WAS
HURTING HIMSELF AND I WAS AWARE OF DR. TANAY'S
REPORT. I THOUGHT THE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE WAS SUCH
THAT AT THIS POINT WE COULD PUT ON A BETTER HEARING
ON A COMPETENCY HEARING. I MADE A MOTION DURING
THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIAL TO HAVE HIM EXAMINED. THIS
3 2
os
WAS BEFORE HE WAS APPOINTED CHIEF COUNSEL. THE
COURT DENIED MY MOTION, WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO GET
ANY EVIDENCE ON THAT ISSUE. AT THAT POINT I FELT
THAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MR. BUNDY AND
EVERYBODY ON THE STAFF WAS SUCH WE COULD NOT
ETHICALLY GO ON AND REPRESENT-HIM. THERE WAS NO
LAWYER/ CLIENT RELATIONSHIP LEFT. SO I MADE A
MOTION TO WITHDRAW AS COUNSEL ON BEHALF OF THE
OFFICE OF THE PUBLIC DEFENDER AND AS I REMEMBER,
AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT, AS I REMEMBER
IT THE RESULT OF THAT WAS THAT THE COURT APPOINTED
HIM AS CHIEF COUNSEL AND RELEGATED US TO THE
OFFICIAL POSITION OF BEING JUST STAND BY COUNSEL.
Q. DID THE COURT, DURING THE TIME MR. BUNDY
WAS CO-COUNSEL AND CHIEF COUNSEL ENFORCE HIS RIGHT
TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT ROLL?
A. YES, SIR.
Q. NOW YOU MENTIONED THAT AT SOME POINT MR.
BUNDY GOT UP AND CROSS EXAMINED A WITNESS WITHOUT
YOUR ACKNOWLEDGE. WOULD YOU-~ COULD YOU DESCRIBE -
THAT INCIDENT, PLEASE?
A. IT WAS-~ LET ME JUST GO BACK AND EXPLAIN
IT IN CONTEXT. IT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. EARLY ON IN THE DISCUSSION WE HAD
TRIED TO FIND A WAY THAT MR. BUNDY COULD
33
24
25
PARTICIPATE IN THE JURY TRIAL, TRY TO MAKE SOME
PARTICIPATION. SEFORE THE TRIAL ACTUALLY’ STARTED,
HOWEVER, WE DECIDED AS A TEAM AND MR. BUNDY WAS IN
ON THAT DECISION, THAT IN FRONT OF THE JURY IT WAS
PROBABLY SETTER NOT TO LET .HIM DO THAT. AND
EVERYBODY WAS IN AGREEMENT. THE STATE PUT ON ONE OF
THE FIRST PEOPLE TO THE SCENE IN CHI OMEGA HOUSE
AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE QUESTION AND THIS WAS THE
PERSON THAT WE HAD TALKED TO MR. BUNDY THAT HE
MIGHT 8E ABLE TO USE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE QUESTION
TO ASK AND WHAT IT WAS WAS SOMEBODY HAD LEFT A
PANTYHOSE WRAPPER ON. TOP OF A TRASH CAN AND THAT
WAS SEEN BY THIS OFFICER. AND ALL WE WANTED TO DO
WAS ASK ONE LEADING QUESTION, DID. YOU SEE THAT, DO
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN THE
STATE PUT THE OFFICER ON HE WENT THROUGH A VERY
BARE BONES MANNER DESCRIBING THE ROOM. DIDN'T
DESCRIBE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT. DION'T HAVE ANY
HARM WHATSOEVER. MR. THOMPSON WAS SUPPOSED TO DO
THE CROSS EXAMINATION WITH ONE OR TWO QUESTIONS. AT
THAT POINT MR. BUNDY, AS I UNDERSTAND IT, MY
RECOLLECTION IS, GRABBED THE FILE FROM MR.
THOMPSON'S HAND, WALKED UP AND ASKED THE QUESTION
OF~~ I FORGET HOW HE WORDED IT. THE RESULT WAS
THAT THE OFFICER HAD THEN A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH
34
EVERY GORY DETAIL THAT HE SAW BLOOD AND
EVERYTHING. HAD A TREMENDOUSLY BAD EFFECT ON THE
JURY, IN FACT WHEN THE TRIAL WAS OVER AND THEY
INTERVIEWED THE JURORS THE JUROR THAT WE HAD PICKED
TO BE OUR STRONGEST PERSON AT THAT POINT IN THE
BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL SAID MR. BUNDY LOOKED LIKE A
BEADY EYED KILLER WHEN HE ASKED THOSE QUESTIONS.
AND I THINK IT'S AN EXAMPLE JUST WHEN DR. TANAY
SAID THAT IF THE CASE~-~ STATES CASE GOT BETTER MR,
BUNDY WOULD HELP THE STATE. THAT WAS A PERFECT
EXAMPLE OF THAT PREDICTION COMING TRUE.
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE EFFECT OF MR.
BUNDY'S BEHAVIOR WAS ON THE COHESIVENESS OF THE
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS?
A. IT JUST DROVE US APPART.
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL
WHAT HAPPENED?
A. WELL, AS AN EXAMPLE, FOR INSTANCE, MR.
BUNDY WAS CONVINCED ONE OF THE LAWYERS THEY COULD
DO JURY SELECTION AS GOOD AS ALL THE REST OF THE
LAWYERS. AND EVEN THOUGH THE TEAM MADE THE
DECISION TO HAVE TWO LAWYERS PICKING THE JURY, MR.
HAGGARD AND ANOTHER ONE, MR. BUNDY WAS ABLE TO
CONVINCE THE ANOTHER LAWYER THAT SHE OUGHT TO GET
UP AND BEEN ABLE TO DO THE SAME THING. THAT'S AN
zs
24
25
EXAMPLE OF WHEN HE WOULD HOOK ONTO ONE OF THE
LAWYERS TRY TO DRIVE WEDGES SETWEEN THEM~- US AND
REALLY TRY TO SABOTAGE THE DEFENSE THEORY.
Q. YOU INDICATED AT VARIOUS TIMES DURING THE
TRIAL MR. BUNDY REQUIRED MEMBERS OF THE DEFENSE
TEAM TO MEET WITH HIM?
A. YES, SIR.
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED DURING
THOSE MEETINGS?
A. WELL, MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT EVERY
MORNING WE HAD TO BE THERE AT NINE. WE WENT UNTIL
LATE DONE WITH JURY SELECTION TEN- O'CLOCK AT
NIGHT. APPROXIMATELY SIX SEVEN BEFORE WE WOULD GET
OUT OF THE COURTROOM AT NIGHT AND’ HE MADE~~
DEMANDED NOT ONLY ONE OF US BUT ALL OF US COME SEE
HIM EVERY NIGHT SO HE WOULD KNOW EVERYTHING THAT'S
GOING ON IN THE CASE. AND ONCE THE JUDGE REQUIRED
US IN FACT TO DO THAT BECAUSE HE WAS CHIEF
COUNSEL. USUALLY WHAT HAPPENED IS WE GO THERE AND
HE TALKED ABOUT RUNNING SHOES OR HOW MUCH MAIL HE
GOT OR TELEPHONE CALLS OR SOMETHING. VERY RARELY
ON THE CASE. IN EPFECT WHAT HE DID WAS TAKE UP TWO
OR THREE HOURS OF VERY VALUABLE TIME, ONLY TIME WE
HAD TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT DAY AND SYSTIMATICALLY
DID IT DAY AFTER DAY APTER WE TOLD HIM THE EFFECT
f .
\
IT WAS HAVING ON US.
Q. CAN YOU TELL ME WHETHER DURING THESE
MEETINGS, DURING THE TRIAL MR. BUNDY WAS INVOLVED
IN THINGS OTHER THAN PREPERATION FOR THE DEFENSE?
A. YES, SIR. HE WAS INVOLVED IN SETTING UP
SOME KIND OF CORPORATION, CIVIL CORPORATION. HE
WAS INVOLVED IN ALL KINDS OF~- ALL KINDS OF MATTERS
THAT DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CASE AND I
CAN'T REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY, BUT I KNOW THAT ONE OF
THEM WAS. BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION ABOUT EVERY DAY.
I MEAN THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD SPEND HIS TIME ON NOT~~
WE WERE FACING A JURY THAT HAD THE POWER TO SEND
HIM TO THE DEATH PENALTY ON TWO CASES AND WE
WEREN'T TALKING ABOUT THAT. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
OTHER THINGS.
Q. MR. HARVEY, BASED ON YOUR OBSERVATION AND
YOUR CONTACTS WITH MR. SUNDY DURING THE TRIAL CAN
you TELL ME WHETHER HIS OVERALL IMPACT WAS POSITIVE
OR NEGATIVE?
A. NEGATIVE.
Q. AND DID MR. BUNDY APPEAR TO APPRECIATE
FACT THAT HE WAS HAVING A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON HIS
TRIAL?
A. NO, SIR.
MR. COLEMAN: THAT'S ALL I HAVE, YOUR
B7
at

HONOR.

38
aa
Cu
A. I THINK THAT WENT ALONG WITH WHAT OR.
TANAY HAD TO SAY, YES.
Q. YOU PRETTY MUCH ACCEPT WHAT DR. TANAY

A. WELL, I NOTICED THE PREDICTION THAT HE
MADE THAT CAME TRUE.
Q. HOW ABOUT DR. TANAY'S STATEMENT HE COULD
NOT SAY BUNDY WAS INCOMPETENT UNDER FLORIDA LAW.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT?
A. I'M NOT A PSYCHIATRIST.
Q. BUT YOU WERE A PSYCHIATRIST WHEN YOU
ACCEPTED HIS OPINIONS A MINUTES AGO?
A. NO. I JUST TOLD YOU WHAT I MADE MY LEGAL
DECISION ON AND WHAT I'M BASING MY~=

THE RESULTS WOULD BE THE SAME AS IF YOU TALKED TO A
TRUCK DRIVER. CROSS EXAMINATION HE SAID THE WELL
PLANNED MANNER OF THE INCIDENTS, THE. CHARGES AND
PRIOR CHARGES, DICTATE AGAINST AN INSANITY DEFENSE.
AND THAT EXECUTION OF DEATH PENALTY LAW MAINTAINING
ONES INNOCENSE IS PREFERABLE TO USE THE INSANITY
DEFENSE.

8. My .research over the past fourteen years has
focused on the psychiatric, neurological, medical, and family or
experiential factors associated with violence in children and
adults. I have collaborated in this research with psychologist
David A. Balla, ‘now deceased, and Jonathan H. Pincus, Professor
and Chairman of the Department of Neurology at Georgetown Univer-
sity. I have published over 100 scientific articles and chapters
in my field, and have presented numerous papers at professional
conferences. ‘one of my: most recent publications is Psychiatric,
Neurological, and Psychoeducational Characteristics of 15 Death
Row Inmates, 143 Am. J. Psychiatry 838 (1986). My curriculum
vitae, including a complete list of my scientific publications
and presentations, comprises Attachment A to‘this affidavit.
9. My most recent research projects have included a4
follow-up study. of youngsters who subsequently went on in young
adulthood to commit murder, a study of the neurological and psy-
chiatric characteristics of a sample of adults convicted of mur-
der, and another study in collaboration with Dr. Pincus on the
neuropsychiatric status of adult offenders in the forensic
psychiatry and forensic medical units at Bellevue Medical Center.
10... In the course of my research, I personally conduct:
psychiatric evaluations of. the’ subjects of the research. ro
usually. have a neurologist and psychologist conduct tests as
well. Atver obtaining the data from: my. own ‘psychiatric evalua~
tions ‘and from: my ‘Colleagues’ neurological ‘and psyéhological,: :
evaluations, I am Usually the person who decides which additional
kinds-of tests or procedures should be performed.
ll. In the course of my clinical and forensic work, I
have been retained by both state agencies and defense counsel.
When J was clinical, director of the court clinic in New Haven, I
was enployed by the state. My work in the violent offenders
project was used for treatment and disposition purposes ‘by the
state. . More commonly, I, work with defense counsel. I have been
employed on behalf of several criminal defendants and convicts,
particularly. in murder cases.
12. At the “request of his attorneys, I have conducted
an evaluation of Theodore Robert Bundy for the purpose of de-
termining whether Mr. Bundy was competent to stand trial during
the time period. frém his arrest in Florida through his sentencing
for the Chi Omega crimes.
13. For. the purpose of conducting this evaluation, I
familiarized myself with the-legal test for competency to stand
trial, which’! understand to be that the defendant must have suf-
ficiént present ability to consult with his lawyer with a
reasonable degree of rational understanding and a rational as
well as factual understanding :of the proceedings against him.
14, My evaluation in. this matter was based on the fol-
lowing:: : :
a. My. several interviews with Mr. Bundy.
b. The psychological evaluation of Mr. Bundy
conducted by Marilyn Feldman, M.A., on September 10, 1986.
C. The neurometric evaluation of Mr. Bundy con-
ducted by Dr. "Leslie Sy Prichep on September 15, 1986.

arguing a motion to. exclude cameras from the courtroom, in June
1979; and Mr. Bundy explaining his conduct in refusing to come to
court earlier that’ day, in July 1979.
j. The. transcripts of the following proceedings:
“1) May 31, 1979, when Mr. Bundy filed a

7, 1976.
15. Having considered the interviews and written
material “listed in Paragraph 14 in the light of my professional
training and. experience, ait is my opinion that Mr. Bundy suffers
now ‘and has suffered at least since 1967 from a psychotic disor-
der which rendered him unable to consult with his lawyers with a
-68-
reasonable degree of rational understanding and to maintain a
-rational as well as factual understanding of. the. proceedings
against: him.
--16.. The current ferminology. to, describe Mr. Bundy" s
disorder is "Bipolar: Mood Disorder®. This severe ‘mental “;hiness,
is more commonly known as manic-depressive psychosis. It is an
illness characterized by wide fluctuations in mood which often
include periods.of extreme depression and periods of euphoria,
inctude perio
grandiosity, and extremes of rage. During such periods a person
is not in touch with reality and lacks control over his behavior.
During manic phases ‘a person usually has unrealistic beliefs
regarding his own abilities. His judgment is severely impaired
at such times. During manic phases a person will often work long
hours but the products of such work are usually disorganized and
incoherent.
17.. In’the.course of my most recent review, I have
become, aware of the possibility of a concommitant diagnosis that
may have further impaired Mr. Bundy's ability to assist in his
own defense. The accounts of several observers to Mr. Bundy's
behavior suggest the possible existence of other personalities of
a , possible existence of other personmaritiss
which he is not completely aware. It is possible that Mr. Bundy
May also suffer from the syndrome of multiple personality.
18. . According to my interviews with Mr. Bundy and my
review of the materials describing his behavior, Mr. Bundy was
“9 -
“clearly incompetent to stand trial, much less to function as his
own attorney 0 or as ico-counse] to appointed counsel,

‘Septembe ri l9,. 1986 :
Psychiatric’ Impression of Theodore Bundy!
Birthdate: November 24, 1946
‘The following psychiatric report is based on only 34 hours of
interviews with Mx. Bundy, and I did not have available his
previous psychological and psychiatric records. Therefore the
‘ following findings must be considered preliminary in nature.
Mr. -Bundy was the. product of the pregnancy of an unwed mother.
According. to Mr.’ Bundy he kriows nothing of his own father. He says
that for .years he thought that his stepfather was his real father,
. but that.he realized this was not the case when, as a teenager, he
discovered: his birth certificate. Again it is difficult to
anderstand this misconception, since apparently Mr. Bundy's
stepfather did. not enter his life until Bundy's middle childhood.
Of note, however, Mr. Bundy seems to have unconsciously repressed a
- great deal ofmaterial from his childhood in order to present a
-picture of complete happiness and contentment. It should be noted,
howevec, that..such a picture would not be consistent with any
effort |to appear sick, or to appear as if there were any
. extenuating: circumstances in his case..
Medical History: Mr. Bundy does not know anything about his
mother's pregnancy’ or about information surrounding his birth.
The only relevant data I obtained was the fact that he suffered an
accident at age. 6, :when he was hit on the head with a 2x4 board.
He has a scar-on his head attesting to this accident. He also
reports ‘a car accident eat age 16, but he denies that he lost
- consciousness. °
Past Psychiatric History: Although Mr. Bundy denies ever having
received any psychiatric treatment, it is clear from his history
‘that he has suffered recurrent episodes of depression and mania, at
least ‘according to Mr. Bundy, he had been a fine

occurred after’.his..sophomore. year at college. At that ‘time, when

this peciod. of: timé as. one when’ hé felt despondent’ and fearful. ©
“When asked’ whether ‘he ever cried, he said, "I’ cried lots. There
was a chapel...’ I would go in and weep". When asked about his
appetite he said ,"I’ was smoking. I'm not, a smoker". Apparently,
he smoked: a géeat deal at that. time and had very little appetite,
and skipped meals. According to himshe did not take the final
examination ‘at’ summer school. When he attempted to return to
classes at the. University of Washington, he said he was unable to
attend classes, and again he did not take final examinations there.
It’ became a
It= would seem that his depression began to lift by May of
1968, and’ at, that’ time one could document a fairly clear manic
episode, lasting. from approximately May 1968 through November
(1968, At that time he became very involved in the political
“Gampaign. forthe Lieutenant Governor of the State of Washington.
He then. became involved in the Rockefellac for President campaign,
-and he attended the National Convention (I believe it was in
Miami). :During this period of time, he regained his energies and
actually worked. 18 hour days. He did so well that he. was
apparently hired” to be on the staff -of..the.man. cunning for...
" Lieutenant Governor. He describes himself at that time as having
mec "gréat people, feeling connected". He describes himself as
"more Sociable, more excited, more gregarious: As he put it, he
“felt on top:of.the world". When asked about relationships at the
time jhe said-he felt "more socially adventurous". He said that he
felt. as though he wer able to make connections with. ‘Snyone.and to.
rose view Mes ners nfo fe tee ethestiancl
about himseli as being charismevic. eee Wh 2s
asked him about whether he had ever been more opinion ed,
out-spoken,..or' ‘talkative than might have been advisable, he
[described this period of time as a time when he had expressed
himself in more opinionated, sometimes disagreeable ways,and when
he had’ rubbed, certain people the wrong way. To quote, “I can
‘remember years back, before I mellowed out, debating people,
_having to make opinions known, feeling compelled to get my point
across.. Apart’ of me would become contentious, critical, .....".
Of note, looking back from this period, Mr. Bundy recalled a
period. just ‘prior’ to this 1967 depression when,as a student at
University. ‘of Washington, studying Chinese, he was more
expressive, . outgoing. "I could be argumentative. I came across as
intolerant, insensitive," he said. It is certainly possible that
prior to the summer’ of 1967, ducing what he considers a rather
successful academic. period of his life, he wus also. experiencing a
hypomanic ec manic episode. ,
yo Theodore Bundy. a :
ms , ‘page 3 oF 7 . won tos oot
It would seem that the manic episode which occurred at
around the time of. the political campaign was followed by a.series
of depressive: episodes. For: example, after the political campaign
he enrolled” in Temple University and had a great deal of |
difficulty concentrating and doing. his work. He-felt lonely and.:
"unmotivated and. Femoved from whatever was going on. around: him,
eo EE In’ 197 a subsequent to begining: a ‘eelationship with Liz, he:
Po Lee “said ‘chat he did ‘wall. in’ a’ “summer ‘session. Accotding to Mr. Bundy’.
he again entolled::in. ‘the: University of Washington’, and at ‘this
i ms . ‘time,’ which I-believe was around 1970, worked well, :got -A's -and
! B's, “could work all night long," and also had a-part-time job
delivering for a medical supply company. At this time he said
_ that he was ‘not only doing well academically, but was extremely
sexually active with his girlfriend Liz. At this time he also
started a new. major, psychology. This relative hign was fairly
) short lived,..and, during his last semester at the University of
Washington, Mr. Bundy again went into a depression. He had a
research project that was due, and he was never really able to
function well enough to complete it, although he was somehow able
to get ¢redit ‘for it. After graduation, he got a job at a
’ psychiatric hospital, however he lost interest in psychology and
“felt uncomfortable’. with some of my relationships". He again
changed his plans ‘from graduate school in psychology to plans for
‘law school. He enrolled in a night program at the University of
Puget -Sound,. however, at this time, he became extremely depressed.
| . He did not attend classes, and he again did not go to his final
4 +. examination. Realizing that he was functioning badly, he applied to
e the University of Utah Law School, concealing the fact that he was
. -flunking out at.the University of Puget Sound Law School. In the
fall of 1974, he moved into a new apartment near the University of
‘Utah Law School and began his studies there. However, he, became
so severely depressed that he did not attend his classes, stayed
at home, watched television, which he had never beeri interested in
before,. and,.. according to him, smoked pot. He said “I just
couldn't’ bring ttvself to go to class. I would sleep late.I stayed
+
Was in". spparenciy he Gid extremely poorly auring this firsy
i “semester, but ‘then pled with his professors to permit him to
continue to attend the law school for the second semester. During
the second semester his depression lifted to some degree and he
was able.to function and,according to him, he got all B's. He
said, "I started to-enjoy it. I met a lot of kids,I got into the
comradery". Recording to Mr. Bundy, it was approximately a month
after the beginning ‘of his second year at the University of Utah
| that he was.:picked. out of a line-up for an abduction that had
| occurred the previous November.
: - Thus, it’ would seem that Mc. Bundy, over the years from 1966
: _ .o¢ 1967 through 1974, suffered a secies of extreme depressions at
' which times he’ was unable to function adequately, and several
manic. or hypomanic episodes when he was filled with energy,
| . argumentative, opinionated, difficult to get along with, andat
~ times ,euphoric. . : ° . . :
‘him, he. !typed and, filed -volumes": between’ May-of: 1977 and: December 1977.
‘When describing." his ‘escape. from Colorado, -Mr., ‘Bundy.. said that: he’ had:
‘gone from.Glen Springs-to Dehvér,. ‘from Denver by-plane to. Chicago, from’.
‘Chisago. to" Ann Arbor). by stolen car’ to’ ‘Atlanta, Georgia... He described
Theodore Bundy
page 4 .
. Since-his ‘arrest, there is reason to believe that Mr. Bundy has also
suffered from at’ ‘least ‘one, manic episode. During..that. episode, Mr. Bundy
. péepared. his own. defense. wrote ‘copiously, and- engineered a. rather
daring escape ‘from, Colorado. ‘Even during the period of time when Mr. ‘Bundy was
traveling from Colorado’ to Atlanta, there was reason .to..believe -he was .
experiencing .a ‘manié ort hypomanic phase of “his disorder. According to’. °
himself .at “that: ‘time ‘as’: being: "high as a.-kite". :'-When. I .asked him
whether he ad ‘had any :drug during that period of time, he. said that he
had not. He: said ‘that he only had had beer while in Ann Arbor.
‘I asked Mr.. Bundy how beer, or wine, or alcohol affected his
functioning and he ‘said, "It has a devastating affect on me. It made me
more likely to do things I shouldn't do". He went on to say that
Bourbon specifically could make him "very mean".
. I asked’ Mr.. Bundy at what point, if any, this high ended, and he
said,"I can tell you. the precise moment the high ended". He went on to
say, “While waiting. fora bus, at the Omni Center in Atlanta, all of a
sudden, I could feel it drain out. I felt lonely, I. felt lost"...He said
that this was approximately January 3, or January 4.
The issue of Mr. Bundy's manic and depressive episodes raises the
question, during’. which .periods of time has he behaved in violent
anti-social ways?.. » Although Mr. Bundy was frightened. about discussing.-
these episodes with me, and never “actually admitted’ that he -had--
committed any of. the crimes of which he has been accused and convicted,
We were able to determine that the dates of most of the events of which
he has been acctised occurred during depressive episodes. There were,
apparently, other occasional episodes that may have occurred during the-
manic phases of. his illness.

Suspicious but was neither extremely depressed nor manic. The only hint
of his manic. tendencies was his grandiosity. He informed me rather
vapidly, "Theodoré ‘Bundy is a living legend". At another time he
informed me. that’ I was interviewing “the best known, most notorious
inmate on Death Row in this Country." Mr. Bundy also tried to be
inappropriately familiar with me, calling me Dorothy, and treating me as
though I were a social acquaintance rather than a doctor. Had I not
continually: emphasized the fact that I had very little time in which to
see -him, and that: my priorities were to see several other people during
my stay in Florida, I would have been unable to focus him on the issues
that were important to-discuss. It took him a long time to trust me
enough to describe any of his depressive or manic episodes. It seemed
aS* though he would have preferred to be considered perfectly competent
and intelligent. .and go’.to his death, rather than admit that he had, on
eccasion, suffered from a psychotic disorder. Mr. Bundy was unable to
stick to the. point of..a question and was t ial in his x

disturbance. There were times when he seemed to have genuine difficulty
thinking Glearly .and speaking ‘directly. Mr. Bundy had, ‘remarkably little.
his current ‘difficulties .thinking straight or. into ‘His mood
Nonetheless, he ‘made: statementS like; "I-have been eonscious -
of expanding my understanding of: ‘myself; I don't exercise my memory". He.
. seemed-to have a vested ‘ifiterest in trying to conéeal from himself any
evidence of impaired thinking. -Thius,. although he attempted to appear
logical, coherent, arid intelligent, he was clearly a man who was having
difficulty formilating his thoughts and organizing them effectively.
I did not have time to complete a formal mental status examination,
because of the. extraordinary amount of time it took to obtain the above
history of a mood disorder. It was clear to me, however, by the end of
our’ sessions together, that Mr. Bundy was, himself, curious about the
reasons. for his vidlent, anti-social behaviors. I have the strong
impression that,. had we another day in which to explore these episodes,
he’ would have discussed’ them and explored them, and we could have
obtained insight into the nature of his aberrant behaviors. It is
difficult to know, however, ‘after terminating these interviews, whether
Mr. Bundy will actually wish to explore these episodes with anyone. He
did say to me that he was’ interested in making a contribution. When I
asked what this meant, it’seemed that he did wish to make a contribution
to science, and that he did genuinely wonder what had caused his
behavior. Thus, I'm “somewhat hopeful that,if he is not executed in the
near future, we should be able to learn ‘Significant information about
his psychiatric state before, during, and after the crimes of which he
has been found’ guilty. .
Recommendation: . 1. Ideally, Mr. Bundy deserves a lengthy psychiatric
evaluation with someone whom he trusts, and feels will not capitalize
personally onthe data he provides. It would be important to try to
obtain this data,ooth for purp of his d and for unc ing
the nature of the psychopathology of multiple murderers.
2. Because I'm convinced that Mr. Bundy suffered from a manic
depressive illness, it would be extremely useful to obtain a PET scan at
a time when Mr. Bundy is’ experiencing a high. At manic times, glucose

of the few psychiatric illnesses that can be visualized. One might even
consider the possibility of trying to provoke a manic episode with small
amounts of anti-depressant. medication.

Safense?-
Me. Bundy suffers now and has suffered at least since 1967
trom a psychotic disorder. ‘The current terminology to describe his
disorder’ is "Bipolar Mood Disorder“. ‘This severe mental illness is
more commonly’ ‘known: as manic-depressive psychosis. Ite is an
i
liness characterized’ by wide fluctuations in mood which often
include. periods of: and iods of euphoria,
grandiosity, .and extremes of rage. During such periods a person is
not in touch With reality. During manic @ person usually
- phases
. has unrealistic ‘beliefs. regarding his own abilities. His judgment
“is severely impaired at such times. During manic phases a person
W:
“usually, di g ized and i eee
during extended periods before as well..as.ducing-his trial, _
Mr. Bundy was experiencing manic episodes. During these times he
ill often work « long hours but the products of .such work are
ccounts of his behavior before and during-his trial indicate. that,
was grandiose, unable to appreciate the situation he was in, and
unable to make reality based decisions. A prime example of his
_ manic. psychosis was his refusal in the_face of damaging evidence
against ‘him, to accept a negotiated plea- which would. have—spared.—--.-
his life. His delusional belief in his om omnipotence caused him
. totally to- “mi sjudge the evidence amassed against hin. His
overactivity ‘took the form of collecting 90 depositions, some of
which were irrelevant and, indeed, harmful to his own cause.
Although. I have not. been shown the briefs that he filed, it is my
understanding : ‘trom: Mr. Bundy that at times he produced reams of
‘material, much of which was irrelevant, possibly harmful to his
case. At other times he became depressed
c.
and unable to think
early or prepare ‘for his trial.
Thus, according to my interviews with Mc. Bundy and my review
of materials describing his behaviors, Mr. Bundy was clearly
incompetent to stand. trial when he did mich less function as his
own attorney. His. lack of contact with reality, his grandiosity,
and his. severely. impaired judgment also made it impossible for him
to cooperate and assist his attorneys. In fact, at the point when
-, he could have ‘saved his own. life by agreeing toa negotiated | plea, :
he . Le

4) Was Mc. Bundy suffecing from a peychotic disorder at the
, times of his alleged crimes. —
Mr. Bundy has not, to the best of my knowledge, confessed to
. the crimes for which he was sentenced. In our clinical. interviews;

during uncontrollable manic cages. Thus, if Mr. Bundy did commit
(25 it Became cleac that Mr. Bundy has periodically
-. these acts, he-probably did so during psychotic episodes. As I
have stated, Mr. Bundy has not admitted to having done these acts,
and, therefore, it is not possible to obtain a completely accurate
picture of his state of mind when they occurred.
Redacted. by counsel.
6) Were there: any factors that should have been introduced at
the sentencing phase of his trial for purposes of mitigation?
The most’ important factor that should have been introduced at
the time of his trial’ was the fact that Mr. Bundy suffered froma
‘manic-depressive illness which caused him to experience wild
fluctuationsof mood and. which impaired his ability to control his
bobsuior. To froty on the brede of me Interviews with Mr, Bundy
understand why an “insanity deferse \ was not used.
7) Ave there any factors relevant to a petition for clemency?
The fact that Mr. Bundy suffers from a well documented
psychotic disorder, from a manic-depressive psychoses, means that
he often lacks: control over his behaviors and thus should be
recognized as less ‘Fesponsible for his actions than normal
‘individuals. .
There may well be other ing f Mr. Bundy
is so. secretive about his early life and so protective of his
family that I was unable to obtain useful information in these
areas.
Preliminary data from Mr. Bundy's quantitative electro-
encephalogram also. suggest © chat there. is some abnormal activity,
particularly in the temporal lobes. These abnormal discharges may

Given Mr. Bundy’s abnormal quantitative electroencephalogram,
I would also suggest that a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) of his
‘brain be p med :to" d ine her there are any structural
"abnormalities: that ‘can be identified. The existence of a tumor / “

be performed, preferably at a time when Mr. Bundy. is demonstrably

Dear Ms. Nelson:
The following addendum to my psychiatric report of
September 19,1986, and my letter to you of November 11,
1986, is based on a review of additional information
furnished to me by your office. These materials included a
chronology of events and observations, notes of your
interviews with friends and family members of Mr. Bundy's,
four volumes of excerpts from the Chi Omega pretrial
hearings and-the trial itself, transcripts and audiotapes of
interviews between Mr. Bundy and law enforcement officials
in. Pensacola and Tallahassee, pro se motions filed by Mr.
Bundy, and miscellaneous documents including transcripts of
the proceedings in which Mr. Bundy sought to have his lawyer
.removed rather than accept a plea bargain that would have
spared his life. I have also reviewed your notes of your
interviews with members of the defense team and have
reviewed some of their memoranda. I h=ve also raviawed
transcripts of the competency hearing i. lott
videotapes of Mr. Bundy's behavior during portions of the
proceedings. ~ |
This addendum will address specifically the question of
to what extent these materials clarify the question of
whether or not Mr. Bundy was competent to stand trial when
he did, to act as his own attorney, and to assist his
attorneys in his defense. More specifically, it will
consider the degree to which they confirm my initial
diagnostic impressions. In the course of discussing the
data with which I have been provided, I shall also discuss
the adequacy of the. competency evaluations performed at the

time of the. ChiOmega “proceedings, as reflected-in the. : ..
transcripts’ of the hearing.: woe .
/ Let imé’begin by saying that there is strong, evidence
.from, the ‘materials.cited above that from the.time of Mr.: .
.. -Bundy'ts arrest. ‘through his incarceration and performance at —
“his’trials' that: Mr.! Bundy was.ftinctioning in an irrational
‘and often self-destructive fashion. His ‘mood throughout
this period of tinie fluctuated from depressed, lethargic,
and’ unprodtictive to.grandiose and exhibitionistic.
Unfortunately, ‘at neither time was he able to function
effectively either,as his own lawyer or in collaboration
with his attorneys. There were times when.he was
disheveled, unkempt, and unshaven and times when he was
: cocky and overconfident. During the latter times he was
I often prolific but not productive. ©
. The following chronology of his behaviors from February
1978, when. he’ was apprehended to the end of. the Chi Omega
trial illustrates his erratic and irrational behaviors.
; For éxample, in February of 1978, Mr. Bundy is
described by ‘his attorneys as alternately:.rambling and
coherent. : During the day he would sign agreements to
refrain from talking-with police in.the absence of his
attorneys; the very nights after sig Statements he
would indulge .in rambling, often sel a
conversations with the police. Indee
lawyers, Mr. Nursey, considered him "cr
_ assist in his own, defense even as early as when the issue
was only that ‘of stolen credit cards.
Although from’ February 1978 to July 1978, Mr. Bundy was
unable to accomplish any work of value in his own defense,
he insisted on-acting as his own attorney. in_two. _ cle c cues ee
simultaneous murder cases beginning in July. It would seem
that by August 10,°1978, Mr. Bundy's mood had changed to one
of exuberance and over-confidence. At this time, in the
- absence of any preparation, he felt in control of his
situation:to the point of filing a motion opposing the
State's wish for waiver of a speedy trial. Mr. Bundy thus
had no appreciation either of the evidence against him or of
the work: required to prepare for trial. Thus his judgment
was severely impaired.
By October 1978, Mr. Bundy's mood was no longer as
| over-confident. - Indeed he is described by his lawyer, Mr.
\ Minerva (whom-he Ultimately agreed to work with), as
wt
- striking: moo
lethargic and. unable to make decisions. | Even when’ he :
appeared confident in court, Mr. Bundy would return to his. °
cell, unable to, work on. his case.. . : .
--In oontrast to his: lethargy and lack of productivity’.
from. July to tober; there would seem to have beéen.a..° :)°
wing ‘accompanied by.a flurry of frenzied
activity:in ‘Oc er and November 1978...At this time. Mr.’
Bundy took. approximately 90 depositions over a’six week .
period.’ This extraordinary volume of work is characteristic
of'manic behavior. The fact that these depositions were, by
and large, pointless, and were, at times, even detrimental
to his case is also charactersitic of the work product of
manic individuals.. The depositions have the quality of
questioning for the sake of questioning rather than having
any direction.
: By March of 1979, Mr. Bundy is again in a disheveled
State. According to his lawyers, he is drinking alcohol, is
not shaving regularly, and his appearance seems to change.
Indeed by April of 1979 his lawyers are convicnced more than
ever that he is psychiatrically impaired and they obtain a
psychiatric evaluation by Dr. Tanay. In fact, even before
he is seen by Dr. Tanay in May, he is so distrubed that he
is medicated with Ativan by the consulting physician at the
jail.” mo : be cent ae .
-Mr. Bundy's behavior at the time of the negotiated plea
bargain is further evidence of his confused, irrational
state. On thé evening of May 30 he signs a plea bargain
that would spare his life, then apparently stays up all
night preparing a brief in which he attempts to discharge
his lawyer and.go ahead with a trial for which he is
completely unprepared. To the court's credit, the petition

attorney in the Lake City case (Mr.
fricano), oO. uy 34,
‘ immediately after the hearing, Mr. Bundy did not scem to
realize ‘that, he had just fired Mr. Minerva, instead he was.
inappropriately jolly.
: By June 1, 1979, Mr. Bundy is on suicide precautions at
the jail. Clearly, on May 31, he was not competent to
reject the pléa and ‘should have been given time to consider
the plea when he was less disturbed, conflicted, and
irrational. =
The question arises of: Mr. “pundy' s.state of mind at the
time. of - his:.evaluation by Drs. Cleckley and ‘Tanay, ‘and’ the . -
. Competency ‘hearing’ on June 11. -It would seem that during
the euphoric phases of his.disorder, Mr. Bundy is able. to
present a facade of normality and competence. Like many
manic or, hypomanic individuals, he "performs" for the- “people
; around him. It is my opinion..that he did. just that: during
his brief and admittedly superficial interview with Dr.’ -
Cleckley, It .is .noteworthy that: Dr. Cleckley himself has.
spoken: of the "Mask of Sanity" that covers up the severe
underlying disturbance in individuals similar to Mr, Bundy.
. While Dr. Tanay recognized Bundy's underlying incompetence
beneath his facade of sanity, Dr. Cleckley seemed more
equivocal ‘in his assessment. Given the brevity of his
‘assessment and .Bundy's over-whelming need to appear
"normal", - “it ds not surprising that Dr. Cleckley failed to
-‘ebtain a’ comprehensive picture of the case. He himself
admitted as much in: his testimony.
. Further. evidence of Mr. Bundy's euphoric state around
the time of the competency hearing is the description of his
behavior on June.12, the day after the competency hearing,
when he ‘bantered with the jurors. ~ - sata
suffice it to say that these fluctuations of mood
persisted throughout his trial. There were times he was
flippant and inappropriate with the judge; there were days
he refused to come to court; and there were.times his verbal
productions were peculiar and self-incriminating.as when he
referred in court darkly to his having only so far revealed
‘his "nonviolent self".
I should stress that Mr. Bundy's irrationality was
-recognized not‘only by his attorneys but also by the judge
himself. -In his sentencing, findings on mental mitigation,-~ -
. Judge Cowart states that there are indications in
psychological ‘reports that Mr. Bundy "makes decisions based
on' distorted perceptions of reality." The judge goes on to
:Say that "it appears accurate to say that. he attempts to
“gonceal and revéal his involvement simultaneously, and that
-his dealings with the criminal justice system are dominated
‘by psychopathology." Thus even the judge recognized the
conflict, indecisiveness, and self-destructiveness of Mr.
‘Bundy's behaviors.’ .To my mind, the accounts of Mr. Bundy's
_ behaviors fromthe time of arrest and throughout his trial
“indicates his. lack of competence to stand trial, much less
to act as his ‘own attorney.
mr
C
. I would like to add that in the course of my review of
all the above-cited materials, I have become aware of the
possibility of a concommitant diagnosis that should be
explored in the future. Throughout his incarceration and
trial, Mr. Bundy frequently alludes to another "Ted". There
ts also‘ some evidence ‘that for brief periods of time Mr.
Bundy..s entire personality. changes to the point where he is
almost ‘unrecognizable and is quite frightening: -. His
mother's aunt, Virginia Bristol, witnessed one of these
episodes and became terrified.. At this time, after a
pleasant evening at a concert with Mrs. Bristol, Mr. Bundy,
suddenly, as they waited at a train station, started to
ramble and "make no sense", to look "crazy", and to be out
ws touch with her. His aunt was suddenly afraid to be alone
with him.:
Two similar episodes are recounted by Mr. Aloi, the
investigator-in the case. During one of these episodes, Mr.
. Bundy became glassy eyed, sweaty, scratched himself all
over, and. could not speak in full sentences. He also seemed
to be communicating with someone not in the room (i.e.,
hallucinating) «
Mr. Bundy's former lawyers have also noted extreme
changes in personality almost from one day to the next.
Given these extreme changes of behavior, as well as the acts
for which Mr, Bundy has been sentenced to death, the
question of whether or not he also suffers from the syndrome
. of multiple personality should be explored. His comment to
the press regarding his conviction, "They haven't proved it
to me", further suggests the possible existence of other
personalities.of which he is not completely aware.
In summary, Mr. Bundy has suffered from a longstanding
psychotic disorder and was incompetenf to assist bir
attorneys in Treth Ch Onaga procecdivegs against him, muck,
