Well there is a glimpse into what a thoughtful husband and father he was. It's all about you, isn't it, Russell? Please, God, let them figure out some way to put him prison as well. He sure won't get lonely there.

Hi. I live in Houston and we are saturated by news coverage of everything Russell Yates says.

I did not hear him say this. Can you provide your sources, please? Not that I doubt you; I'd like to see his remarks in context.

is mr. yates an engineer?

Andrea seems awfully meek and subservient to him. Wonder if he constantly berated her about what a "horrible mother" she was, saying that she was ruining the kids or that they were brats or something of the sort. (Susan Smith killed her kids because her lover told her he would marry her if it weren't for the kids, 'cause he didn't want to be a father yet. So the notion of offing the kids to please the man isn't exactly new.) In any case, he's definitely a self-absorbed moron.

Note the fourth paragrpah:

Russell Yates has stood by his mentally ill wife ever since she drowned their children in the bathtub June 20. When he arrived home that day and a police officer told him what happened, he fell to the ground and sobbed.

This is propaganda on the part of the reporter: the trial, I believe, found to the contrary.

please, someone show him the door to the "clipper club!" NOW!

[Great Dane]

He isn't going to let his bed get cold...... is he.

Geesh - what a tool. Its obvious which part of his body does the "thinking" for Russell Yates.

[Redleg Duke]

Does the procedure known as "castration with a dull spoon" have relevance here?

[L.N. Smithee]

I am beginning to think that the reason Andrea was spared is because some on the jury didn't think it is fair that he couldn't be executed with her.

From that first tearless press conference he held in front of the family home with the pictures of the kids, I have thought there is more to Rusty than meets the eye. As revolting as he seems now, I think there's more to come.
