She should have received the death penalty.
12:05 pm - Andrea Yates found not guilty by reason that she is a ing nutjob.
She will now spend the rest of her life in a state mental facility with her fellow nutjobs.
Apparently she will stay in custody at the state looney bin untill she is "ready and able" to rejoin society.
Pretty much everyone thinks that will never happen.
She should have received the death penalty.
Bul . She deserves nothing better than death.
Kill that crazy![]()

She deserves torture before death. Death is too easy a punishment for that .
Are you kidding me? So if in 10, 15, 20 years she's deemed "healthy and normal" she'll be out free?Apparently she will stay in custody at the state looney bin untill she is "ready and able" to rejoin society
If doctors feel it's in her best interest, she'll eventually be set free.
i just read about this. what a ing joke. that deserves to be ing fryed. the legal system is a joke for this decision. how the does a get to kill her kids and get away with it? i sincerely hope she burns in for this .
Who gives a what her *best interests* are? She murdered innocent children ... ironically, those children who's best interests were her responsibility.
I don't get it...why are people so sure that doctors won't set her free eventually and deem her mentally stable? She's not that old and has a lot of time left.
Am I the only one who doesn't get the father? How could he be supporting her? If I'm him, I'm killing her, not teling the media how proud he is of the jury and their decision. I just don't get it.
she should not die. she should not be in a ing mental ins ute either. they need to put her in general population. If she was not crazy before she did it, she probably turned in lock up.
Inmates tortured her everyday, making baby noises and cries, and yelling things like "no mommy" "please"..etc. that is what she needs till she dies.
Once the doctors have made that determination, a judge will then have to rule for her to be released. Down here in Houston they had the verdict on live radio and the attorney analysts said she would never be released even though there is this "possibility".
Because apparently everytime they have her on stable meds and she is starting to become more "sane" she comes to a sane person;s realization of what she did and she starts flipping out and having nightmares and going all whacko all over again.
Thats been her cycle since she was 1st jailed so I doubt that will ever end.
I wouldn't be so sure. Her "insanity" defense hinged on a diagnosis of post-partum psychosis which, if she doesn't get knocked up again, is prevented.
Look for her to be "cured" in the next couple of years.
Nice job by the defense team. Stupid jurors.
I think he feels some culpability in this for his denial of her having any problems prior to the killings. Friends and family stated that she was pretty much vacant and emotionless for months prior to her murdering her children. She was i nthe hospitol for one of those 7 day stints but that was about it.
He was teliing people she was "ok".
I didn't want to say anything to the contrary on everyone's "She should fry for the things she did to her kids" while this was still in the club, and this is my first post in the politics forum, so please no one eat me alive here either:
I whole heartedly believe in the ngbri defense and verdict (as most people would probably guess) and through proper treatment she should get better. (and if she doesn't get knocked up again...) If any of the people who thinks she should die for her actions look at the diagnostics of a postpartum depression/psychosis they'd see she fit most, if not all the criteria. One of the main reasons she was found guilty during the first trial was because the psychologist/psychiatrist wasn't avaible to provide the expertise on the very topic which provided the not guilty by reason of insanity verdict.
Have any of you been under extreme stress, like a bitter divorce or attacked and harassed continually by colleague that your job is in jeopardy, that drives you nearly crazy? can't sleep, can't find your balance, have violent thoiughts? Ever heard of "crimes of passion" ?
Have any of you women been so chemically unbalanced by PMS that your monthly insanity drives everybody around you crazy for days? Or menopausal conditons? And do you even remember how ed up you were during your period? More likely, your insanity is blanked out, and/or something to laugh about. Yeah, right.
Now take that PMS/menopaual insanity and slide it way down the chemical unblance scale, and you end up with a Yates.
What cool, sane, healthy mother would drown here own kids?
Just as I thought, the "religious" "Christian" revival supposedly sweeping the USA (it's not the first) is really Old Testament, fire-and-brimstone, eye-for-an-eye, high dudgeon vengeance, witch-burning, self-righteous bloviating, not New Testament Christian compassion and love.
The lady was/is nuts with depression. So you self-righteous asshole Cotton Mathers want to burn the witch? She knew, in her sane periods, that she was nuts, her husband knew that, her doctors new that. The failures were by people all around her.
Lock her up and try to fix her chemistry. Even tie off her tubes.
2 NYC policemen were convicted of murdering a bunch of people for hire by the mob. They walk free, statute of limitations. No outrage here.
10's of 1000s of innocent Iraqis are dead because head and Rove chose to lie their way and the USA into an unnecesary war. No outrage here.

I don't really care about the diagnostics of it. Psychiatry is mostly a crock. Anyone can get upset, sad or whatever about anything and a psychiatrist can find that they fit into the criteria of some syndrome or disorder, then deem them "mentally unstable".
She killed her kids. I don't have any sort of sympathy for whatever she believes she was going through.
Okay, that's your opinion and I have mine about what I think she was going through. Different views make the world go 'round. I was never up for an argument about it.
If you didn't want to argue about it, then you probably shouldn't have posted in the thread. That's kind of what the Political Forum is for.

Alot of people get upset, sad, whatever Kori, but they don't pop their cork. That is the fine line that seperates sanity from insanity.
This woman HAS TO BE INSANE.
If postpartum depression was a rare ailment, I might buy it ... but sorry, it's not. IMO, that's a gigantic load of crap.
I strongly believe in it, I just can never get my words around the thoughts to argue it. I'm open to everyones ideas on most politics, iraq, democrats, republicans, gas, africa, bird flu, what not, but I'm sure most people know, if they've read the oh ! threads, I strongly believe in psychiatry and its daignostics, nothing would ever change it. I know a lot of people here think it's a load of crap and nothing will change their views. No point in arguing about it. She was found not guilty. Lo que pasa, pasa. If I come along anything about postpartum psychosis, chemically or diagnostically, I'll be sure to share it and bring my A, game and y'all bring your C game just to be even.![]()
And BTW, has anyone noticed how much boutons has been posting about PMS and a woman's period the last couple of days? Is it creeping anyone else out besides me?
