Heading: Community Use

Text: Dr. Smith testified that he believed Johnson had a deficit in community use. When asked what type of behavior led to this conclusion, he replied that Johnson had been unable to access treatment for his addiction because he did not know how to go about doing so. Johnson's parole officer and his pastor, however, both stated that he sought help from them for his alcohol and drug problems. Dr. Keyes also testified that he thought Johnson to be deficient in this area. He based this opinion on the fact that Johnson did not use public transportation on his own, did not keep a job, and did not go out in the community to do things like see a movie or play golf. There was other testimony, however, that Johnson frequently visited and purchased items from the convenience store. Additionally, the day after he committed the murders, he called for a cab to go to the mall and used cash to purchase a piece of jewelry that he had previously looked at for his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. He also took a cab ride home, and he paid and tipped the driver in cash.
