The Yates Abomination [culture]

Andrea Yates, the monster who drowned her entire brood of small children in her bathtub a few years ago, was given a new trial on appeal. Why? According to the AP:

Prosecutors have said they plan to once again call Dr. Park Dietz, the psychiatrist who testified at Yates' first trial that one episode of "Law & Order" depicting a woman who drowned her kids in a bathtub and was acquitted by reason of insanity aired before the Yates children died.

But no such episode existed, and the mistake caused an appeals court to overturn Yates' conviction.

This is amazing. Her conviction was overturned because a witness was mistaken about a television show?

Why does it much matter? There are two major issues in the case: first, did Yates kill her children (she did, and no one disputes it); second, was she ill at the time or not?

How could the existence or non-existence of aTV show episode be that important?

Did she kill her kids one by one in an evil malicious way void of all rational thinking and feeling?

Yes she did... slowly holding them under the water watching each one until they quit breathing.

Horrible.

Is she ill. Yes she is - I don't want anyone telling me that she or anyone else who murders in cold blood is not ill or that they are normal. I am not ill and am normal... that is the difference between normal folks and monsters like Mrs. Yates.

She deserves to die. It is amazing to me that anyone could defend the actions of a cold blooded heartless monster like that. I have a daughter and I have been around women with PPD - and nothing like PPD - should ever be used as an excuse for this type of horrible sin. Many women struggle with depression (PPD) after giving birth - but the vast majority don't drown their entire family - one by one.

That women needs to pay for her horrible crime. It is a sad state of affairs in our country that there is even a debate over whether or not she gets off. What has our country come to?
