Yates evidence: Former UVA psych slip voids murder conviction

Yates evidence: Former UVA psych slip voids murder conviction

For two decades, his track record as an expert witness won forensic psychiatrist and former UVA law professor Park Dietz acclaim– and plenty of high-profile cases. The convictions of would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley Jr., serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, the Unibomber Ted Kaczynski, and South Carolina killer mom Susan Smith all came with Dietz as a witness to the prosecution. But some pundits claim the recent reversal of quintuple kid-killer Andrea Yates' conviction based on a Dietz error may spell an end to his courtroom career.
