The Biography of Suzanne O'Malley

SUZANNE O'MALLEY's insightful dispatches on the Andrea Yates trial appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Salon.com, O, The Oprah Magazine and on "Dateline NBC." The author's discovery of false testimony during Yates death penalty trial for the drowning deaths of her five children resulted in the reversal of Yates' conviction. Following publication of O'Malley's Edgar-nominated book, "Are You There Alone?:" The Unspeakable Crime of Andrea Yates (Simon & Schuster 2004, Pocketbooks 2005), Yates was retried and now lives in a Texas state mental health facility.
