If I was the judge, I'd exclude it because the fact of the suicide is too prejudicial and not really probative at all. As far a "proof of guilt," she gave the baby 10x the dosage. I don't think there's a question of liability. The only question in my mind is how much the insurance company has to pay to make these parents whole.
