Stuart Shipko again uses same old 'Paxil made him do it' defense on wife-killer when every other psychiatrist who evaluated the murderer determined he suffered from psychosis

What can you say about Dr. Stuart Lee Shipko's lack of knowledge in psychiatry, or as a doctor for that matter?

Dr. Stuart Shipko loses another case based on his belief
Paxil withdrawal syndrome caused someone to die

In virtually every case we have reviewed involving Dr. Shipko as a paid expert witness in the courts, he has used the same one-note criminal defense that all the violent deaths he evaluated were due, in some manner, to some kind of adverse reaction to the anti-depressant drug Paxil.

To be fair though, in the case of kidnapper Dennis Shellhouse, Dr. Shipko claimed that two different kinds of SSRI (Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitor) anti-depressant medications, Paxil and Prosac, and possibly a low-dose of prednisone were responsible for his medication-induced psychotic state of "unconsciousness," wherein the kidnapper methodically planned out and research a kidnap-for-ransom plot over a 6-month period in his home in Alabama.

Somehow, Shellhouse was "unconscious" during this entire time when he researched and put the plan together, according to Dr. Shipko, which is just laughable.

Paxil, like all other SSRI anti-depressant drugs (e.g., Prozac, Lexapro, Celexa, Zoloft, etc.), have some adverse side effects with a small minority of patients when they are are initially started on the drug, suddenly are taken off of the drug, or when the dosage is dramatically changed, (e.g., nausea, vomiting, sensations of shocks, changes in mood, agitation, increased tendency to feel depressed or energetic, etc.), but no one has proven to have suffered from psychiatric blackouts or psychotic episodes from this mood-altering class of drug, especially at the low doses that Dr. Shipko has claimed his criminal clientele have allegedly been using the drug in the criminal cases he testified on.

Stuart Shipko fails again as he tries to smear victim in murder case to get killer's conviction overturned in Ohio

How low will Dr. Stuart Shipko stoop as a forensic psychiatric expert to try to get his paying criminal clients off the hook from jail?

Psychiatrist Stuart Shipko

How about smearing the character of the victim in a murder case? That's what Dr. Shipko tried, but failed, to do in a murder case in Columbus, Ohio from December 29, 2001.

In June 2002, Kevin Alan Tolliver was convicted by a jury of his peers in the shooting murder of his live-in girlfriend, Claire Schneider, an Ohio State University senior in Spanish and international studies, inside the apartment the couple shared together in the Olentangy Village Apartment Complex in Columbus, Ohio.

On the night of December 29, 2001, Tolliver and Schneider went to a night club. Shortly after they returned to their apartment, a female neighbor overheard a male's voice screaming, "No, no. Don't don't. Oh please. Please." The woman called police, but they were unable to find the source of the disturbance and left the scene.

Thirty minutes later, Tolliver called his ex-wife, Natasha Tolliver, and insisted she bring their daughter to his apartment. When the ex-wife arrived at Tolliver's apartment, she saw blood smeared on the front door, her ex-husband dressed in a blood-stained robe, his hands and legs were soaked in blood, and there was blood on the living room wall and kitchen floor.
