Guest Andrea Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Andrea Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity. This was big news a couple of years ago. It happened in Texas. She got away with murdering her 5 children by drowning them in the bathtub. She will now be committed to an state psych hospital and will be considered for release at a later date. I'm sorry, but I just don't understand how she got a second trial and now is gonna be free eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: She got away with it She got away with it in this life....there is an all-knowing God who doesn't listen to excuse making psychobabblers nor excuses.....I get the feeling he is standing there tapping his foot with his arms folded and a low-brow scowl for this woman. They should lock the husband up also, he is just as culpable as the wife. She will be reviewed periodically and all it will take is one psychatrist or one judge (akin to the one who let a child molester go free because he was too SHORT for prison) and she is on the streets again. If it were my children, she would need to be locked up to protect her from me! Cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that can kill 5 kids, let alone their own kids, has to be crazy. But that shouldn't mean she should get away with it. That's what the death penalty should be used for.

[/ QUOTE ] I just saw that on MSN. Thats horrible. I remember when it happend and I just knew she would stay in prison for the rest of her life. Now those kids have no justice. They had a tidbit on it (on TV) the other day. They claim she has had "episodes" for years. Anyone messed up enough to gather up your 5-children one at a time and hold them under in a bathtub has nothing to offer society. "Mental" or not, she should never again breathe free air. In order to keep whatever respect I have in this place, I will not say what they should do to her... and her lawyers...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: She got away with it This only happened because her original conviction and life sentence was overturnded by a judge on appeal. And what was the gross breech of conduct during the first trial that caused this reversal? A forensic psychiatrist named Dr. Park Dietz told the jury that he thought Andrea Yates got the idea of drowning her kids and then faking insanity from an episode of "Law and Order". Turns out that there wasn't an episode with that story line. So, because "Law and Order" didn't air a particular episode of their show, this killer is out of prison and in a mental hospital. That's just insane (pun intended)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: She got away with it Most people do not have any idea how useless our justice system is! Everyone should spend a little time and go to the local court house and see how "YOUR", the taxpayers, money is being wasted!! It will make you sick! Here we have an example of the original trial and sentence being overturned on some technical crap! Now that a few years have passed, she is found "NOT GUILTY" by a different jury and different presentation by her attorneys! People the justice system in the country is a farce!!

HitRmisS Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Re: She got away with it I couldnt believe it when i heard this on the radio today, and i also agree with the statements about the husband, if i were him i wouldnt be defending her, i would have killed her myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is as good as dead. [/ QUOTE ] That's just it.....she's been in prison all along. Now she'll go to a mental hospital where all the other crazies there probably don't have a clue who she is and don't care. As for her husband.......he seemed a little weird. He stood by her for a very long time. Then he divorced her and I think he's remarried again. Probably working on having 5 or 6 more kids. I think if they are bound and determined to let her go.....she should be "spayed" so she can't do this to any more babies. Then she'll have to watch her back constantly for somebody to execute their own vigilante justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
