The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 347
court that Mike should get a psychological evaluation and that his visitations should be
professionally supervised. Both recommendations were ordered by the court. They furthered
ordered that the psychological evaluation be completed at a local hospital by a Dr. Roland D.
Maiuro, the head of the psychiatric department.
Dr. Maiuro assured Mike that his evaluation could be completed within a month, so that
it would be ready for his divorce and custody trial. He gave Mike a psychological test to
complete containing roughly 1,000 questions and he had Mike provide him with a list of
witnesses that he would like interviewed. The evaluation ended up taking roughly 6-months to be
finished. When it was completed, it was faxed to Lisa's attorney one-week before the divorce and
custody trial which had been continued because the evaluation had not been completed as
promised.
Dr. Maiuro's evaluation was 8-pages but the majority of the facts sited were incorrect.
This is equivalent to the tool that judges use called judicial perjury. Dr. Maiuro had brought a
assistant into the evaluation process. Mike never meant the assistant but the assistant interviewed
his parents. Dr. Maiuro was not present during the interview. This is equivalent to a judge ruling
on a case when he wasn't present during all the testimony. Dr. Maiuro also failed to interview a
key witness who was present during an alleged incident of physical abuse against one of Mike's
children. This witness provided a declaration clearly stating that no physical abuse took place.
Based on these factual errors and many more in the evaluation, Mike filed a motion with
the court for a trial continuance so the errors could be corrected. The court denied the motion.
Mike was forced to settle out of court with Lisa because of the negative nature of the evaluation.
The evaluation summary stated: “When all the evidence is examined, it is my conclusion
that the history in this case meets criteria for domestic violence and abuse, Although the overall
picture is more one of emotionally abusive and controlling tactics rather than physical abuse,
there have been isolated episodes of physical aggression. Although some of the episodes have
been mutual or intended to be defensive, they have clearly constituted unwanted physical
restraint...”
Mike says that he lived under years of psychological and sometimes physical abuse from
Lisa and that there were a few instances when he restrained his wife from causing him or his
children physical harm. He says further that they had sought marital counseling and that he had
been advised not to offer any resistance to physical aggressiveness from Lisa and that he was to
flee the situation or the home. Mike says that he followed this advise and that all the incidences
in which Dr. Maiuro based his report were at least four years old. Clearly the incidences did not
meet the legal definition of domestic violence even if they had been recent.
In regards to controlling tactics, Mike says that this consisted of creating a family budget
of which Lisa actually controlled all the discretionary spending while he took care of the family
bills. He provided all his financial records which showed that Lisa was not controlled at all. The
truth was she controlled almost all the discretionary income and spent several hundred dollars
more than Mike's income each month. These records were also provided to Dr. Maiuro.
The psychological test said Mike had unhealthy levels of among other things “religious
fundamentalism.” It further stated: “However, there have been occasions in which he has
reported to rigidly impose his beliefs and desires to follow certain protocols on his children to the
