She should have been executed years ago. No understanding and mercy for mass murderers. She killed five children. I don't need to know anything past that
I don't think she should have been executed. I'm all for the death penalty.
I worked at ESL when Richard Farley came in and killed 7 of my co-workers. He planned the action for months. He rented an RV and filled it with guns and ammunition, and then he came to my work and shot and killed my co-workers. Richard Farley was not crazy at the time, and he got the death penalty (which unfortunately has not been carried out yet and it's been over 15 years). I think it is justified.
Anyway, I think Andrea Yates cracked up and killed her kids. She was in and out of mental institutions, and she never should have been left alone with the children. I think the husband is as guilty as her for leaving the kids alone with her.
However, I think that when a crazy person (Yates and the guy who shot Reagan) commits a major crime I do not think they should be set free. At the very least, they should be incarcerated for the rest of their lives in a mental institution. What happens to these people if they stop taking their medications?
Maybe she will do the right thing when she is on the outside and find something to kill herself with.
----I totally agree and couldn't have said it better. Those poor babies didn't have a chance against that sick b*tch and she SHOULD have been at the very least, given life without parole.
