Text: Although not called at trial, we review what the record states about Dr. Pineda’s evaluation of Lee. Following his arrest, Lee was evaluated by Dr. Pineda, a psychiatrist working for the State, on January 7, 1999. Dr. Pineda’s evaluation and treatment are referenced in Dr. Ronan’s report, which both the state trial court and Lee’s counsel had. Dr. Pineda reported that, during his consultation, Lee complained of “persecutory auditory hallucinations” starting immediately before the murders and that Lee was “quite distraught and remorseful.” Dr. Pineda stated that Lee had an unspecified psychiatric disorder, as well as a dependence on marijuana. Dr. Pineda prescribed for Lee in jail certain anti-psychotic medications, including Zyprexa, Navane, and Congentin. 13 Case: 12-14421 Date Filed: 08/01/2013 Page: 14 of 128
