None of the four John Does showed signs of lying during psychological testing, a New York forensic psychologist told the Mount Cashel civil trial this morning.
“I’m amazed,” said Alan M. Goldstein, remarking the consistency is something he has never seen before.
Goldstein evaluated the four former residents of Mount Cashel in 2009 and again this year, on behalf of their lawyers.
Four test case John Does represent about 60 former residents from the 1940s to ‘60s who say the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corp. of St. John’s should be held liable for physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by certain members of the lay order Christian Brothers.
The church contends it wasn’t involved in the orphanage’s operation.
Goldstein this morning finished up testifying about his reports on the four men in direct questioning by their lawyer Will Hiscock. He already testified about two of the men Monday.
