I'm sure Yates is nuts, which is why she should perhaps be in an asylum rather than a prison. But she should not be FREE. Even the mentally ill should be held accountable in some way for their actions and it is an outrage that a woman who murdered her five children should be free to walk the streets. (Plus, if Yates is nuts, she poses a genuine threat to society.)

She'd not freed.

She's going to a state mental asylum, even on bail.

You need bail because the mental asylum is a civil commitment, as opposed to criminal.
