An alumni of John Hopkins Medical School, Dr. Dietz was profiled in
the John Hopkins Magazine. Dale Krieger's profile of Dietz concluded:

One comes away from a long conversation with
Park Dietz wondering what it takes to disengage that formidable analytic
intelligence and cause him to recoil in horror. One answer is audio tapes;
some serial killers record the torture of their victims, and Dietz finds
these tapes hard to bear. But something in him still has to know why a
human being would do such an awful thing. And he knows that because of
his work, some people will be prevented from doing such things to new victims.

Gazing out at the California night, he says, "I've been
very lucky. I get to use everything I've got, often in events that matter,
where I get to make a difference." He stretches out his legs and adds,
"It doesn't get any better than that."

Trial observer and author of a book on the Hinckley trial, Lincoln
Caplan, described the defense's lead psychiatric expert as resembling "Father
Time," with his gaunt appearance, shoulder-length hair, and gray beard.
For three days, Dr. William Carpenter--in a "smoky drawl" with "meandering
answers"--provided the testimony about John Hinckley's troubled mental
state that would convince the jury to find the defendant not guilty for
reason of insanity.

At the time of trial, Dr. Carpenter was director of the Maryland Psychiatric
Research Center, a professor at the University of Maryland Medical School,
and a recognized expert on severe mental illness--especially schizophrenia.
Carpenter was educated at Wofford College and at the Wake Forest Medical
School.

Dr. Carpenter based his diagnosis of "process schizophrenia" on forty-five
hours of interviews with Hinckley conducted over nearly a one-year period.
In a "calm, sympathetic, yet clinical" manner, Carpenter told the jury
that
