Anybody ever used or encountered Dr. Allen Childs, a psychiatrist out of Austin? He's been designated as a defense expert in a capital case in East TX.
If you have any information, feel free to email me directly at lisa.tanner@oag.state.tx.us.

I am resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has dealt with Dr. Childs. I have just received notice that he has been hired as a defense expert for a trial set Sept. 18, 2006. You can also email me at kriste@johnsoncountytx.org

He was a defense expert in a federal habeas hearing on a death penalty case I handled about 10 years ago. I won't go into detail here, but he was a pretty easy target on cross. Feel free to call (512) 463-0255 or email laura.popps@oag.state.tx.us for more information.
