A Houston judge set bond at $100,000 for each of two capital murder counts against Andrea Yates, the Clear Lake mother who drowned her five children in 2001. Judge Belinda Hill agreed to set bond for Yates on the condition that she is voluntarily committed to a state mental hospital.

Andrea Yates pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.
Yates is scheduled to be tried again on capital murder charges on March 20.
Yates, 41, was convicted in 2002 and sentenced to life in prison, but the conviction was later overturned because of false testimony by a prosecution witness.
Forensic psychiatrist Park Dietz, testified that television’s “Law and Order” series aired an episode about a woman with postpartum depression who drowned her children shortly before Yates killed her five children. Such an episode never existed.
Last month, Yates pleaded innocent by reason of insanity Monday in the drowning deaths of her children,
Jurors rejected Yates’ insanity defense during her original trial, finding her guilty for the 2001 deaths of three of the children drowned in the family bathtub: 7-year-old Noah, 5-year-old John and the youngest, 6-month-old Mary. Evidence was presented about the drowning of the other two children—Paul, 3, and Luke, 2 -- but Yates was not charged in their deaths.
