How can Rusty Yates be ACCEPTING of his 5 children being murdered?? And he's 'supportive' of her?? He's gotta have screws loose, too.

I wonder when the first case, using insanity as a defense, occurred??
The laws need to be re-written to stipulate; guilty but with penalties to include; lifetime pyschiatric incarceration when insanity is part of the defense.
I so agree with you. He should be serving time for aiding and abetting (or some such thing...)
That just sucks....what is wrong with people now a days....

All twelve of them?
How you reached that conclusion, I have no idea... jerk.
You think my opinion is repugnant?
Yes.
Deal with it.

Well sure she is insane, but so was Ted Bundy and any number of long-since executed murderers.
Where do we draw the line?
Rusty Yates is disgusting.
There is some truth to your comment.... Also, if it was a man sentenced to life in prison for killing his five kids and a comment was made about how the inmates deal with people who hurt/kill children, it would be totally acceptable.
Remember they only tried her for the death of three of the children. Thus should she be released or should the DA decides to they can try her for the remaining two children. Not sure how another trial would play with the verdict of not guilty by insanity in this one.
I think she was insane at the time. I also think she is guilty.

This woman was obviously sick to do something so horrific. That people can't understand that or have some other emotional reason to hate her is not a reason to fry her.
That's a good one! I think that should be an option, where once she is "treated" then she begins to serve her sentence, thus hopefully never, ever being free again.
No she won't. She will be on psychotropic drugs for the rest of her life.
Her physical location is beside the point, whether a state hospital or state prison. Her mental state will likely never improve.
Interesting that her ex huband, Rusty was there showing his support. We are a sick society..

How many of her children was she on trial for killing? I thought it was not all 5. Does this mean the state can now try her for the remaining children, hoping for a guilty verdict from a second jury?
Even if they lock her in an asylum, she might be able to pull it off... I can't imagine why she wouldn't want to be dead right now.
the truth is they are her dead drowned children. calling them unfortunate is sugar coating the truth. this sick woman murdered her babies.
