Spy’s Wife Refusing Treatment, Doctor Says
The wife of spy Jonathan Pollard has refused medication, slowed her intake of food and exacerbated an eye injury by rubbing it, the medical director of a federal prison-hospital testified today.
“In the long term . . . Mrs. Pollard . . . needs to seek psychological care,” Dr. Martha Grogan testified at a hearing on Anne Henderson-Pollard’s suit claiming she is getting inadequate care for several painful conditions.
Pollard, 34, was convicted in 1987 of supplying classified U.S. documents to Israeli agents and is serving a life sentence in a prison in Marion, Ill. His wife, 28, is serving five years as an accessory to his possession of the documents.
