Noted: Leilani Neumann?s attorney, Byron Lichstein, wrote that jurors were incorrectly told at her May 2009 trial that she had an absolute duty to provide conventional medical attention to her children and that her religious beliefs could not shield her from conviction, according to documents. Lichstein, the director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison law school?s Criminal Appeals Project, said her trial attorney, Gene Linehan, should have objected when the jury was told this.
