DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS |

AFFIDAVIT OF J. DOUGLAS CROWDER,
M.D.
Before me, the undersigned notary, on this day, personally
appeared Dr. J. Douglas Crowder, a person whose identity
is known to me. After I administered an oath to him,
upon his oath, he said:
1. My name is J. Douglas Crowder. I am over twenty-one
years old and I reside in Dallas, Texas. I have never
been convicted of a crime, and I am capable and fully
competent to make this Affidavit. I have personal knowledge
of the facts stated in this Affidavit, and those facts
are true and correct.
2. I am an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the
University of Texas, Southwestern Medical School. I
am board certified in general psychiatry with added
qualifications in forensic psychiatry. My business address
is 5323 Harry Hines Boulevard, Dallas, Texas, 75390-9070.
My telephone number is (214) 648-7398.
3. Over a period of years, I have met with a colleague
of mine, Dr. Kenneth Dekleva, to discuss a number of
issues of interest in the field of forensic psychiatry.
4. During a lunchtime conversation that took place,
to my best recollection, in the Summer of 2000, Dr.
Dekleva told me that he served as a psychiatric consultant
for the State of Texas in the capital case of Texas
v. Routier. I understood that Dr. Dekleva's duties as
a consultant were to advise the Prosecution on any psychiatric
issues presented by the case, and possibly to serve
as an expert witness. Dr. Dekleva informed me that he
opined to the Prosecutors in that case that, in his
professional opinion, Darlie Lynn Routier is not likely
to constitute a future danger in prison.
5. Dr. Dekleva acknowledged that Prosecutors had not
asked him to testify about this opinion at any point
during the trial of Ms. Routier.
