So wait. The psych. said he was a consultant for a non-existent episode of L&O, and that's why she's getting a new trial? No one checked this at the time?
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Brenda! I was just going to post that!
They over-turned it because he cited an episode of Law and Order that turns out doesn't exist? Am I over-simplifying? Can they now try her husband?
It's just so off.

The Andrea Yates thing is scary. It surprises me that *no one* noticed. Shouldn't the "expert" have had to introduce a script, or at least something proving he had worked on the show? Weren't there any fanatic L&O fans in the courtroom who knew there was no episode of that description?
Justice is scary.

He even apparently testified that it had broadcast shortly before the killings. WTF?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I guarantee you that TV show execs are well aware when they get tied into a prominent news item like the Yates trial, and they damn well should have recognized that they had no such episode.

I wonder if no one questioned it too closely because no one wanted to sound like they were making excuses for a child murderer. I'm not sure why it would have had that effect, but that's all I can think of.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sorry for the sucky days, Steph and Juliana. I went back to sleep, and feel a little better. I hope your days get better as well.
If Yates' defense attorney was bad enough not to ask for a copy of the episode, I'm glad she's getting a new trial.
