WK 2 Discussion – Mr. Stayner’s Murder Trial


For this week’s discussion you are the expert witness (social worker with a background on early childhood development) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. You are providing a report to the court regarding how M. Stayner’s early years and his brain development have impacted the person he is today. Please note you do not have to determine whether he is guilty or innocent, you are simply reporting to the court the impact his environment and his psychological issues have on who he became.

This is an exercise in which you will articulate what you have learned about the brain. This exercise will demonstrate your understanding of this week’s material.
