Former Psychiatrist wins parole to halfway house.

A former psychiatrist convicted of beating a female colleague with a crowbar is to be paroled from prison Monday and released to a halfway house. James A. Taylor was convicted of beating Martha Turnberg, 54, with a clawed crowbar on Oct. 21, 1996 as she left her psychiatry practice. Turnberg suffered head and face cuts requiring nearly 200 stitches. He was sentenced to 6 to 13 years in prison. Taylor was once a well-known and respected psychiatrist in the North Eastern Pennsylvania area.
