Description:
(Psychiatrist) James Paul Grigson Jr., known as "Dr. Death," was a Texas forensic psychiatrist who testified in 167 capital trials, leading to numerous death sentences. His controversial nickname stemmed from his involvement in high-profile cases. Despite his extensive courtroom experience, Grigson's professional reputation was tarnished when he was revealed to be a fraud. The American Psychiatric Association and the Texas Society of Psychiatric Physicians expelled him for unethical behavior in 1995. This marked the end of his once-prominent career in forensic psychiatry.
