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?
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

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?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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.
