In People v. Reber (1986) 177 Cal.App.3d 523, it was held the trial court erred by failing to examine in camera the victims' mental health records to determine whether those privileged materials were essential to the vindication of the defendants' rights of confrontation. (id. at p. 532.) The defendants had claimed the records would support their theory the victims had hallucinated the charged assaults. But the court also held the error did not warrant reversal, in part because the jury heard evidence the victims had been hospitalized and confined in mental health facilities, were on psychotropic medications, and had a tendency to fantasize.1 (Reber, at p. 533.)
