How damaging was his testimony to your case?

Dr. Bjorksten, who also declined to be interviewed, testified that the condition he diagnosed Lee with is associated with violence.

They had seen people with Lee's degree of dwelling do things which are quite serious.

I absolutely never saw any signs of mental illness.

Lee's friends took the stand, painting a very different picture.

I saw distress from having somebody try and fight you and take your baby away.

And so how hard is it to prove that you are not crazy?

It's impossible.

The more you claim you're not mentally ill, the crazier you sound because people look at you as a mentally ill person then.

And Lee says there was plenty of evidence that she was not crazy.

Two respected psychiatrists testified that there was nothing wrong with her and that she certainly did not need antipsychotic drugs.

But then another expert was brought in as a so-called tiebreaker to see if Lee really did have hyperthymic temperament.

After evaluating Lee, he said she did have the condition.

The experts said Harris was the more predictable parent, recommending that he should have custody.

The child advocate for Savannah also agreed.

Still, Lee and her friends were hopeful.

We thought, there is no way that a judge is going to look at this and take this loving, healthy, happy, vibrant baby away from her mother.

Now the decision was up to Judge Robert Mallard.

And it was clear who he believed.

He cited Harris as willing to share custody when Lee was not.
