California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Kravitz v. State of California, 8 Cal.App.3d 301, 87 Cal.Rptr. 352 (Cal. App. 1970):
Had the court, in the trial of the issue of not guilty by reason of insanity, found Toce sane based upon opinion evidence of a psychiatrist, and had Toce while on probation or after having served a prison sentence committed a murder, the psychiatrist's opinion would not be subject to reexamination in a civil action against him. That probably would be true even if his opinion as testified to was at variance with what he actually thought. (See Taylor v. Bidwell, 65 Cal. 489, 4 P. 491.)
