testimony from Rachel, who described the terrify- ing ordeal she had endured at Mark’s145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HJVmTLQHK
hands. Mark’s colleagues also testified, painting a picture of a man obsessed with145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KqP7Fq7Uo
power and wealth who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. The defense argued145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCfGCObRvU
that Mark had a history of mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KYvFRWgIA
dis- order, which had gone undiagnosed and untreated. They presented expert145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAM7guFB3B

about mental health care in the justice system and whether Mark’s mental health145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo4QnFNY3h

and power and the devastating consequences that can result when individuals like145Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRKt8MpVWZ
