Bernard Lee Diamond (December 18, 1912 – November 18, 1990) was a Professor of law and psychiatry at the
diminished capacity at the time that he fired the deadly shots. In the 1980's, Jonathon Marks, who was representing Mark David Chapman for his alleged act of murdering John Lennon, brought Dr. Diamond in to perform medical legal evaluations on Chapman, but because Chapman later decided to plead guilty Diamond did not give testimony.[1][2]
