Dr. Madelyn Stahl is a child therapist specializing in "rebirthing", an unconventional behavioral regimen where a child is wrapped in sheets and has to break free to simulate birth from the womb.
Preteen Paula Weston died during one such session, and when her adoptive mother Janet agreed to testify, Stahl was charged with murder. However, in reality, Paula was killed by Janet, who deliberately sabotaged the session by covering the blankets with latex residue to trigger a fatal anaphylactic allergic reaction in Paula.
Stahl pleaded down to assault and was imprisoned. (L&O: "Born Again")
