The expert witness, Dr. Jacquelyn C. Campbell, provides a 3-paragraph summary of her expert opinion in the case of Malenko vs. Handrahan (Docket No. FM-08-510). She administered a validated danger assessment to the defendant, Lori Handrahan, and scored her at an "extreme danger" level of 22. Based on research, Dr. Campbell can predict with 92% accuracy that Ms. Handrahan is at extreme risk of being killed or almost killed by the plaintiff, Igor Malenko. Furthermore, any custody arrangement that allows unsupervised access puts the child, Mila, at risk of harm or trauma. Therefore, Dr. Campbell strongly
