NOT guilty???

She is most certainly guilty. How about "GUILTY by reason of insanity"?

Look, if you kill anyone and you are caught doing it with evidence that points to the FACT that you did it, then you are GUILTY. There are no asterisks. She cannot be NOT guilty. There's no amount of "I'm drowning you, but its OK because I'm crazy" that will make the victim OK with it. Sheesh, it sounds like the rule a kid makes up while playing tag.

Guilty is guilty. Andrea Yates is insane. She should be locked up so that she can no longer be a threat to society. Hell, they didn't think she was a threat before she drowned her kids. Once she is considered no longer a threat, is she free to do it again? Please.

The rules should be simple. Kill someone, not by accident, go to jail. For good. If you can't control yourself because you are insane, or you are drunk, or you are stupid, you need to be locked up. Get out of my society.

You too, OJ. We haven't forgotten.
