The Los Angeles Superior Court is under scrutiny following a motion by attorney Paul Cook to recuse Judge Kalra in the elder abuse case involving Kwon Whan Cook. This motion has illuminated broader concerns about judicial corruption, revealing an unsettling connection among Cook, Dr. Eric Wexler, and Dr. Carole Lieberman, all of whom have their roots in UCLA.
Dr. Eric M. Wexler, MD, PhD, a forensic psychiatrist trained at UCLA, has become a controversial figure in the intersection of medicine and law, raising questions about the integrity of psychiatric evaluations. Meanwhile, Paul Cook’s extensive UCLA background, including law degrees and legal scholarship, lends weight to his allegations of corruption. Critics claim UCLA is not merely an academic backdrop; it has produced professionals who facilitate the abuse of power in the courtroom.
Dr. Carole Lieberman, with her MPH from UCLA, has been pivotal in cases linking psychiatric evaluations to litigation, reinforcing the controversial application of the 5150 hold—a practice critics refer to as a “death protocol.”
UCLA's role emerges as a central theme: it has become ground zero for a psychiatric-legal machine that seemingly prioritizes the interests of those in power over justice. The misuse of the 5150 protocol raises tough questions about the institution's influence on judges and psychiatrists in California.
This convergence of power challenges the justice system's integrity and highlights an urgent need for transparency and reform within a system that often appears to maintain control rather than deliver justice.
