Judge Orders Dinesh D’Souza To Get Psychological Counseling

http://www.alan.com/2015/07/15/judge-orders-dinesh-dsouza-to-get-psychological-counseling/#

Powerhouse defense attorney Ben Brafman was surprised when Manhattan federal court Judge Richard Berman clarified the sentence he handed down after D’Souza pleaded guilty last year, which means D’Souza will have to do over 1,600 hours more service than he initially thought.

“We’re talking about five years of eight hours a week? … This is a very serious impediment to obtaining full-time employment because you miss one day of work a week,” Brafman said in the conference inside Berman’s robing room, as D’Souza listened in silently via speakerphone.

“In my mind it was never contemplated that the eight hours only applied to the period of home confinement,” Berman said, later reading out a report from a psychologist who saw D’Souza and then ordering him to continue attending weekly sessions.

“The client tends to deny problems and isn’t very introspective,” the psychiatrist wrote. “The client tends to deny problems and is arrogant and intolerant of others’ feelings.”




edit: And judging by my search engine results, the RW blogosphere is going batshit crazier than usual over this. I had to go to Page 2 to find a nontoxic link!

should be shamed and pushed out of polite society.

They should not be able to sit in a restaurant and be able to peacefully eat a meal with all the shaming that should go on.

That's conservatives, all of them, right there. That is the best description of that bunch that I have ever read.

"arrogant and intolerant of others' feelings."

Just watch the Republican candidates for president. They are all arrogant and intolerant of others' feelings. Every one of them.

Brilliant doctor, I must say. Bookmarking.

Prison time would probably really eat into his schedule, I reckon.

“I feel relief, exhilaration – not because I didn’t get a significant sentence, but I was facing a much bigger sentence that would have seriously affected my work and ability to make another movie for election year,” D’Souza told FOX411. “My sentence restores some faith in a Democratically appointed judge, a Clinton appointee, can look a Democratic government prosecution in the eye and say ‘no’ to the 10-16 month prison sentence they wanted for me.”

how many people they hurt?

What condition might the voter's have that keep them voting for such, in one state up North 3 times?

And how do they help themselves, if the whole population is thus troubled?

Wow, bad circle.

Maybe that fella Dinesh D’Souza is a carrier? Could this be infectious?

“The client tends to deny problems and isn’t very introspective,” the psychiatrist wrote. “The client tends to deny problems and is arrogant and intolerant of others’ feelings.”

And if that is the case then psychotherapy isn't going to help. His brain is wired wrong.
