Dr. Eric Goldsmith testified for a second day Thursday in New Haven Superior Court during the punishment phase of Steven Hayes' trial as a jury considers whether he should get the death penalty.
Other witnesses said during the earlier phase of the trial that Hayes confessed to raping and strangling Jennifer Hawke-Petit in her Cheshire home. Prosecutors said her daughters died of smoke inhalation after the housee was set on fire by Hayes and a co-defendant.
Hayes was convicted earlier this month of killing Hawke-Petit, 17-year-old Hayley Petit and 11-year-old Michaela Petit.
