Frog: I explained a while back, here:

Sometimes when I’m working, either on the blog or around the house, I put the TV on as background noise. It’s often tuned to the news, but I get very tired of that, and lately I’ve sometimes been watching reruns of “Forensic Files,” an investigative series that focuses on the use of forensics in crime. It’s a sort of CSI without the glam actors: just the facts, ma’m, just the facts. I’ve found that truth is often stranger–and to me more interesting–than fiction.

From the media and the grapevine I had heard that Schmidt’s wife is/was a clinical psychologist and mother of several children by Schmidt, who still avers his faithfulness and innocence.
It was also rumored that nurse Trahan had had more than one abortion at Schmidt’s behest, and the relationship “decayed” when she chose to keep the final pregnancy.
I believe there was a several week period between his sentence and his date of incarceration for Schmidt to wind down the care of established patients in good order. He just kept practicing away as if nothing had happened, it was said.
His patients were very fond of him, right to his last day of practice, despite the verdict, I had heard it said.

Where do you find this stuff after all these years, Neo?

Curious that while the program discussed the genetic evidence related to the HIV strain involved at some length, they said nothing similar about tracking down the Hep-C viral sequence. I think that was an unfortunate miss. I understand that the TV people aren’t there to build the kind of logical, beyond-reasonable-doubt case that the DA would have to have done, but it was a missed opportunity to educate the viewers in scientific logic all the same.

Schmidt has never admitted wrongdoing, and Landry said the former doctor on Thursday continued to dispute the evidence against him.

“He denied his guilt and continues to maintain his innocence,” Landry said.

The hearing on Thursday was the former doctor’s first attempt for parole.
