Hubers: "The interview was difficult with Miss Hubers because her style of speaking was overly detailed. In an effort to focus the interview I used questionnaires to screen for potential topics," said Schacht. @WCPO

Hubers: Commonwealth cross examining Thomas Schacht. In a questionnaire Hubers said she had never faked an illness for sympathy. The Commonwealth says this is contrary to what she did when she told Poston she had heart problems when she did not. @WCPO
1) Hubers: Commonwealth running down A HOST of things Hubers has claimed in court but never told Schacht the psychologist. e.g. An Arab man who looked like Osama bin Laden who made his way into her apartment while she was naked. @WCPO
2) Hubers: Commonwealth making the point that Schacht's possible diagnosis is solely based on what Hubers told him. Commonwealth just ran the table with as many as thirty claims Hubers made in court that Schacht says she never told him. @WCPO
