On Oct. 11, 2022, Manhattan psychiatrist Pamela Buchbinder was sentenced to 11 years in prison after admitting her guilt in connection with one of the most bizarre crime stories in New York City history — the brutal and nearly fatal 2012 attack on her ex-lover and the father of her child, Dr. Michael Weiss.
According to authorities, the assault on Weiss in his Manhattan office was the climax of an epic "War of the Roses" battle between two extremely well-educated and respected psychiatrists. "48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant exclusively reports in "The Psychiatrist and The Selfie," airing Saturday 9/8c on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
What made the crime even more astonishing, according to Van Sant, was the fact that the alleged "hit man" turned out to be Buchbinder's troubled young cousin, Jacob Nolan, who claimed that Buchbinder had manipulated him into carrying out the murder for her.
