Forensic psychology professionals play a vital role in the legal system, providing evaluations that influence judicial decisions. Given this responsibility, there are significant ethical risks if forensic findings are inaccurately reported or if professional independence is compromised. These risks are heightened in high-profile or community-based cases, such as the Case of Julie Schenecker in Hillsborough County, Florida, where a mother was found guilty of murdering her two teenage children in 2011. Forensic psychologists were involved to evaluate her mental state at the time of the offense and during the trial. This case highlights multiple ethical concerns including potential breaches of confidentiality and loss of independence from retaining parties. Need a response with references
