On Monday, the judge is expected to decide whether Andrea Yates will have to stand trial a second time for drowning her children.

The defense argues a second trial would amount to double jeopardy.
Yates was granted a second trial because the prosecution presented false testimony.
Prosecutors argue the expert witness simply made a mistake and that it wasn't the main testimony that convinced the jury to convict Yates anyway.
