Psychiatrist wants immunity for testimony regrading her treatment of a soldier charged in a brutal rape and murder.

All of which leads to some suspicion regarding the psychiatrist. From this report

A military psychiatrist who treated at least three U.S. soldiers charged in the brutal rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the slayings of her family said Thursday she would not testify unless she had blanket immunity.

Elizabeth Bowler, an Army reservist, has been called to testify in the court-martial of Pfc. Jesse Spielman, who has been charged with rape and murder in the assault.

Spielman's court-martial resumed Thursday with prosecutors scrambling to overcome a soldier's recanting of his story that Spielman conspired to participate in the March 12, 2006, assault of a family in Mahmoudiya, a village about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Baghdad. Spc. James Barker, who has admitted his own role in the assault, testified Wednesday that he had allowed investigators to draft sworn statements for him that implicated Spielman in the crime. Barker testified that several portions of the document were untrue.

The court-martial proceedings began Monday with Spielman pleading guilty to lesser charges of conspiracy to obstructing justice, arson, wrongfully touching a corpse and drinking. Bowler was sworn in Thursday to testify after the jury had been excused so a military judge could decide if her testimony would merit immunity from prosecution.

Defense attorney Craig Carlson asked Bowler under oath what she would do if she was called to the stand. She said she would exercise her constitutional right against self-incrimination. Bowler was in charge of a combat stress team attached to the Spielman's unit during its deployment last year.

The Justice Department last month denied a request to grant Bowler immunity. Maj. William Fischbach, the military prosecutor, said he was planning to ask the military authorities overseeing Spielman's court-martial if immunity could be granted to Bowler by the end of the day.

Prosecutors have only a handful of witnesses to call before resting their case against the 101st Airborne Division soldier.
