Default Re: Anyone remember Andrea Yates?

I think it was a blurb in the local paper's or news station's website. One of the ones that gets updated as people figure out the details. Bleh, lesson learned.

I apologize also for my presumptuousness. I have a connection with Mr. Dietz (I have never actually met him), so maybe I let my bias shape my opinions. Perhaps a better description of him would be that he is by far the forensic psychologist most respected by the legal profession. Or was, at least. That is nothing to sneeze at, since I'm sure you will agree that many brilliant scientists and professionals would be horrible in a courtroom setting. By all accounts I have read, He has a talent for getting into the heads of murderers.

By the way, according to this he was hired by the prosecution in the Deanna Laney case: link . So maybe he's not such an automaton.
