Andrea Yates gets new trial

[JNC458]

All very interesting opinions, all present a good argument. 🙂

I hope someone accidently runs her over with a toe truck. And reverses back and runs her over another time to make sure whatever they ran over was dead.

As long as she never, ever walks around as a free woman again I'll be content.

She chases down her 5 kids like dogs & drowns her them in a bathtub & she gets a new trial? If I was her husband, I would have killed her without a second thought. Even if with the new trial they decide she was insane, she still should be locked up forever. She makes me sick.

What good would killing her really do? Serve as a deterrent for other mothers not to drown their families?

She was nuts, and she needs to receive health care. Executions should be reserved for the most dangerous criminals, not the obviously mentally unwell.

Agreed. She is obviously not well mentally and needs to receive treatment.

We wouldn't be killing her, we'd be saving her from Satan. (Wasn't that her excuse?)

same here. She needs to spend the rest of her life in either prison or a hospital. personally i think they should just shoot her in the head and be done with it.

well a few facts the OP left out...she had severe bouts of post-partum depression. She had this last kid and had an even more severe bout of PPD. Before anyone jumps down my throat, this is a biological fact, PPD, it can be brutal and severe after pregnancy ends. Basically what it is, is a severe hormone imbalance. Most women get an ever so slight case of it after birth, others have it much more severely.

Most males get a severe hormone imbalance called "puberty", I dont think it's a good excuse for rape.
