"The great pressure of being scrutinized by the federal government as a responsible party for the anthrax mailings I think would be enough to cause stress for the average citizen," said Clifford Lazzaro, Berry's lawyer. The comments came the day Berry was to appear in municipal court on assault charges stemming from a domestic dispute at a Point Pleasant Beach motel the day of the searches. Instead of answering to the charges Friday, Berry's lawyer said a complaint has been filed alleging it was Berry's wife and stepdaughters who assaulted him Aug. 5. That day, federal agents descended on Berry's home and a former apartment in rural western New York, as well as his parents' summer home on the New Jersey shore. An FBI spokesman said the searches were part of the anthrax investigation. The FBI has not commented on Berry's status. Berry, who founded an organization in 1997 that trains medical professionals to respond to chemical and biological attacks, was arrested later that day after the domestic dispute. The pressure of the investigation "caused the family to crack," Lazzaro said. Lazzaro said the entire family will be scheduled for a new court date within a couple of months. Berry was in court Friday but left without being called before the judge. He did not make a public statement. A restraining order hearing for Berry has been scheduled for Monday in Ocean County Superior Court. The hearing would make permanent a temporary order brought on behalf of Berry's wife and stepdaughters. Lazzaro said Berry hopes to reconcile with his wife, who is living in an upstate New York home the family owns. Berry remains in New Jersey, but his lawyer would not say where. Five people died and 17 were sickened in the fall of 2001 in the anthrax mailings that targeted government and media officials. The attacks unsettled a nation already reeling from the Sept. 11 terror attacks. In August, Berry lost his job as an emergency room doctor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He is the second doctor connected to the anthrax probe to lose his job.
