Timelies!

Welcome, Bells!
It sounds like the shrink claimed to have worked as a consultant ... on an episode, but couldn't have, because no such episode existed.
Even if he consulted on an episode that was subsequently not filmed (in other words, consulted on a script), I'm not sure why he thought this would have been valuable. Either you know something about matricide or you don't. Asshat. I just can't believe he thought he would get away with a lie like that.

Trying again.
In other words, the shrink testified to something like this:
I gave shrinky info to Law and Order writers. L&O writers wrote an episode where a woman killed her kids, and was not convicted, because she was deemed insane. Yates watched the episode, and got the idea to kill her kids and then pretend she was insane, in order to get off.
In other other words, the shrink (a witness for the prosecution) made Yates look like she was copying a TV show, and this influenced the jurors in assessing her case. But apparently in fact, there was no such episode Yates could have copied.
I hope this helps. The whole thing (esp. the original killings) is so horrible, I can't read too much about it, but I believe I've covered this latest development.

Got it. I thought... well, it doesn't matter. Either way, hello? Lying under oath much?

gronk.
meeting libkitty and the seeing the rest of the people lexine mentioned was fun. eating Turkish food was also fun. hearing Matt cough for an hour, not so fun. Happily, it only took breaking the cough cycle for him to stop.
Now I am trying to decide- stay home all am , cozy on the couch or go out to a place where there is coffee and breakfast shows up in front of me. It means getting dressed. but there is orb.

It's two characters too long, but it's lovely. Thank you.
I just e-mailed a bunch of options to everyone that contributed. Thanks for your help, guys.

Okay, I had a dream last night that one of you was pregnant. If you are and haven't announced it yet, just let me go on record as saying if this is a prophetic dream, I need to open up my own psychic hotline.
(It was a specific person, but I'm not saying who it was, because if they are pregnant, they can announce it whenever the hell they feel like it, and if they aren't, then I look like a dork.)
Since there's no star in the east, you know it's not me.
Teppy, I am not pregnant (to my knowledge, and it's fairly unlikely I would be). Was it me?
