It was bad enough if she was insane, but if she was faking...it's beyond even trying to describe with words. I just keep thinking what those kids must have felt and thought..geez makes me ill.

Heaven knows insanity was disreputable enough, long ago; but now that the lawyers have got to cutting every gallows rope and picking every prison lock with it, it is become a sneaking villainy that ought to hang and keep on hanging its sudden possessors until evil-doers should conclude that the safest plan was to never claim to have it until they came by it legitimately. The very calibre of the people the lawyers most frequently try to save by the insanity subterfuge ought to laugh the plea out of the courts, one would think.

I could care less what her state of mind was. Once you kill five children you gotta go. She's a demon

Fellow-inmate hearsay testimony isn't too reliable.

From everything that I've read about Andrea Yates and what a devoted mother she was, and considering her many documented postpartum psychiatric problems before the murders, I truly believe her to have been mentally ill at the time of her arrest. As to what has happened with her mental health since then, I can't say.

Yeah, and we all know that an inmate would never lie.

I'm glad this came out. This admission pretty much kills any chances of successfully arguing insanity during her coming go around with the Courts again. It is a devestating admission to make, pretty much the same as saying "I'm faking" in the eyes of the Court or jury.

Postpartum abortion, it's the new trend. There was 21 yr. old woman on BOR last night who had two babies mysteriously die, the first baby's body has never been found.

Ya'll leave her alone. Her children died.

Both Andrea Yates and her husband should have been put to death IMMEDIATELY. In 1875 they would have been tried within hours and hung! People in those days knew how to take the garbage out!

If they are so mentally ill that they kill five people, they need to be not alive to be mentally ill to kill more people. IMO
