Meet Psychologist Dr. Kelly Chapman:
"I hadn't started out with
any desire to be an expert witness. And certainly not one who got calls from
every state in the union. That hadn't been my goal. Still wasn't. But our
purpose in life isn't always clear to us, is it?"
On her life:
"Bottom line was, trauma
didn't punch a time clock. So neither did I."
In one of
her better moments regarding caller ID:
"I mean, what if it was my
father's number and I let out a 'what do you want?' and it turned out to be a
cop using my dad's phone to call and tell me Dad was dead on the side of the
road?"
Regarding
her addiction:
"I couldn't find a pencil
that hadn't been chewed on. So what if the existing ones bore all my own teeth
marks. Sometimes a girl just needed fresh wood."
On a case:
"I didn't get angry often.
But I was angry. Well and truly, one hundred percent angry. The slime ball was
going down. Way, way, way down."
