“I thought there was no evidence of an active mental illness. That didn’t mean he doesn’t have one,” Dr William Monteiro told the jury. He added his main concern was whether Mr Silver was fit to be interviewed.
Mr Silver then said: “He had a gun on him and he reached for his gun and I grabbed it and shot him. I didn’t mean to. Turns out he is a detective. F**k me.” Earlier, the jury heard evidence from Consultant Psychiatrist Dr William Monteiro who said Mr Silver refused a psychiatric assessment on the night he was arrested and told him “you are f**king joking, why should I tell you” when the doctor enquired why he was there.
Dr Monteiro said he observed the defendant and his interactions with the guard for some time and noted that the accused was “clear” and “lucid” and “he could engage in normal conversation”. In his second interaction with the accused, Mr Silver asked the doctor his name and what he wanted from him. “I said I’m just interested in what brought you into here.”
Dr Monteiro said his main concern was if he had enough data to conclude Mr Silver was fit to be interviewed. He said the day after the shooting the accused appeared “elated” and “did not appear to have taken on the gravity of the situation”. The accused requested Valium but the doctor did not have any and instead gave him 50mg of Seroquel, an antipsychotic drug. The doctor said Mr Silver requested a glass of water and then asked for a second one “because he thought the first one was poisoned”.
Asked if Mr Silver presented differently on each of the occasions he spoke to him, Dr Kelly said the accused was “much calmer and meek” on the second and third occasions.
