Re: Drowning Kids is OK (Yates' murder conviction overturned)

According to a report from The Associated Press, Yates' lawyers argued last month before a three-judge panel of the First Court of Appeals in Houston that psychiatrist Park Dietz was wrong when he said he consulted on an episode of the TV show "Law and Order" involving a woman found innocent by reason of insanity for drowning her children.

After Yates was convicted, attorneys in the case and jurors learned no such episode existed, the AP reported.


That's what you get for using a TV show in your case...
(Although I thought I remembered an episode where a woman drowned her children...)
