Dear Attorney Barclay,
I have had an opportunity to review the documents you sent to me (see below) and have
prepared the following letter. It was my understanding based on our conversation that I
would A) review the documents noted below; B) provide comment regarding what is
scientifically known about the nature ofthe human response to highly stressful events; C)
give you my current opinion about the memory accounts provided in the documents
below.
Documents reviewed:

Second Amended Complaint
Pulido Use of Force Report
Pulido TPD Interview
Dixon Interview
Creamer Incident Report
The Human Response to Highly Stressful Events:
The majority of scientific knowledge that informs what is currently known about
the impact ofthreat to life situations on human physiology, neurobiology and cognitive
performance is derived from studies conducted in military populations, law enforcement
personnel, and victims of trauma. This body of scientific information regarding humans
and how they respond to highly stressful events is compatible with a large body of
scientific studies on the impact of stress on the neurophysiology and performance of non
human animals. Taken together, this body of scientific knowledge indicate that it is
within a reasonable degree of medical certainty that exposure to extreme situations and
environments (i.e. those entailing realistic threats to life and physical safety) induce

levels of stress that can negatively impact the ability of humans to think clearly, to form
accurate memories and to make decisions. l
The primary reason why stress can negatively impact human cognition is this: Our bodies
have systems that help protect us when we are in danger (i.e., our "fight/flight" response)
and these systems exhibit increased activity during times of significant stress. Some of
the critical hormones that are involved in our stress response are Cortisol,Norepinephrine
(NE) and epinephrine (E). Although they are extremely beneficial in facilitating our
ability to respond effectively to dangerous situations, they can be disruptive to areas of
the brain involved in decision making and memory.
For example, cortisol, (a class of steroid hormones released from the adrenal
glands) is essential for life and regulates a variety of important cardiovascular, metabolic
immunologic and homeostatic functions. Cortisol plays a critical role in human
adaptation to stress. Cortisol mobilizes energy, suppresses nonessential anabolic activity,
and increases cardiovascular tone. Since the 1960 s scientific evidence has established
that cortisol significantly increases with subjective awareness of distress. This is to say,
if there is little psychological distress, elevations of cortisol are not observed; if there
psychological distress cortisol will rise. Indeed, the greater the subjective distress, the
greater the release of cortisol.
Regarding human cognition, over the past two decades numerous scientific
studies have demonstrated that exposure to high levels of stress (and the stress associated
elevations of cortisol) may cause physiological harm: specifically, the high levels of
cortisol induced by the stress damage neurons in some specific areas of the brain that are
critical to information storage and memory. Stress-induced levels of cortisol (as well as
cortisol related hormones) have been reported to correlate with cognitive deficits in
humans and have been shown to selectively impair verbal declarative memory.
As noted above, NE is another critical neurohormone involved in the human stress
response. As in other animals, NE helps humans during stress by assisting their ability to
selectively attend to meaningful stimuli. However, under stressful conditions when NE
release is increased in large quantities, it causes a decline in functioning in an area of the
brain that is critical to decision making: the prefrontal cortex. Although this inhibition of
PFC functioning during a stressful or dangerous situations may have value for enhancing
our ability to survive - by allowing us to employ rapid habitual (subcortical) modes of
responding - inhibition of the PFC has a negative effect on cognitive functions related to
decision making and memory.

Indeed, within military personnel, the negative impact of combat stress on cognitive
functioning is so common it is referred to as the "fog of war" and has negated the
assumption on the part of medical professionals that cognitive deficits observed in
healthy service members are pathognomonic (i.e. a sign of illness or pathology).
1

Human Memory for Highly Stressful Events:
Although a great deal of non human animal and human data indicate that
increases in NE and E have been shown to enhance memory retrieval when administered
at the time of memory testing, this beneficial effect on memory has been documented in
situations of controllable or moderate stress. Over that past two decades, numerous
studies in humans have provided empirical evidence that increases in NE that are
associated with highly intense realistically stressful events, degrade human cognition and
memory.
These data, from controlled studies, are important and have helped us understand
a great deal about the nature of human memory for traumatic events. Prior to 1993, it
was commonly believed by trauma specialists and scientists working in the field of
trauma that memories for traumatic events were indelible and did not change over time.
This belief however is no longer supported by scientific evidence. Numerous studies in
war veterans and with military personnel now exist and have provided robust evidence
that memories for traumatic events are not indelible, but are subject to substantial
<;tlterations over time.
These studies have demonstrated that individuals exposed to highly stressful or traumatic
event make alterations in both the content of their memories (i.e. the identity of people,
events, injuries, deaths witnessed) and in the chronological elements of their memories
(i.e. alterations in the perception of time, the order in which events have occurred).
Finally, these studies have provided evidence that such alterations in memory are not
restricted to people suffering from psychiatric illnesses or from other medical problems.
To the contrary, these studies show that alterations or errors in memory can occur in
health individuals.
Opinion about the memory recall content in the materials reviewed:
Concerning the materials that I have reviewed, it is my opinion that the events
experienced by Officer Pulido can be legitimately characterized as a traumatic event. By
this, I mean to indicate that the events describe meet both subjective and objective criteria
as described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR
2000). As such, it is within a reasonable degree of medical certainty that the events
triggered a significant fight flight response in Officer Pudilo. I have reviewed his
statements about his recollections during the events and have, at your request, attended to
his account ofthe events while in the back of the truck. Based on my clinical experience
working with people exposed to traumatic events, my experience conducting scientific
studies on the nature of memory for highly stressful and/or traumatic events, my
experience conducting studies of genuine and deceptive eyewitness accounts of highly
stressful events, it is my opinion that it is within a reasonable degree of medical certainty
that the memory accounts provided by Officer Pulido are consistent with genuine
memory accounts noted in people exposed to highly stressful and/or traumatic events.
The accounts where not characterized by the features associated with deceptive
eyewitness accounts.

I would be happy to review any additional infonnation or materials you may have.
As you know, my opinion about the materials related to this case is based on the
infonnation you have provided to me at this time. Additional infonnation, if inconsistent
with what I have reviewed may alter my opinion.
