|
she had had an evaluation.
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Uh Huh.
- - -
|
|
Johnson:
|
And whoever had evaluated her had said “Okay, yeah
|
|
|
.she’s.
.
.she’s okay to go.. .she’s not any danger
|
|
|
to herself or to anyone else.. .and- she’s.. .she’s
|
|
|
fine to be released”. So.. .1 mean. .that’s.. .that’s
|
|
|
• .that’s what I knew was that yeah, she had been
|
|
|
evaluated and she was okay. It was just a temporary
|
|
|
upsetness.. .something that I guess everyone involved
|
|
|
believed could be cured with some rest and relaxation.
|
Det. Sudler: Okay. It appears that, at the hospital.
.
.you know... that they had a discussion about psychiatric evaluations and.
. .
and that they would take care of pretty much.. .you know.. .whatever Lisa needed.
. .
that they would rather not her. .you know.
.
.be evaluated or..
•
or have a psychiatrist actually treat her or
|
•
|
.you know. I guess they had a nurse practitioner
|
just make the general.. .you know.
.
.the legal determination as to whether’or not she was a Baker Act candidate and ask her some questions. But I
was wondering if there was any -structured thing
|
|
that she was gonna be a part of.
.
.you know...
|
|
|
because like.. .you know.. .we have a
|
72 hour Baker
|
|
|
Act law in this state that.
.
.you know.. .an
|
|
- -
|
|
|
involuntary...
‘ ‘
|
-
|
|
Johnson:
|
I’m not sure what-that is.
|
- - .
|
|
Det. Sudler:
|
Well, an involuntary admission into
|
a health care
|
|
|
facility for 72 hours is the maximum amount of time
|
|
|
by law that a person can stay there
|
against their
|
|
|
will.
.
.you know.
.
.until a Judge- or physician can
|
|
make a determination if they’re okay to leave. It
|
|
|
would take a’ court order to keep them longer than
|
|
|
72 hours. So Lisa didn’t meet that
|
legal criteria
