I watched with horror the mothers confession. She is pure evil. I understand she is mentally ill but she knew right from wrong. The two of them make me so sick inside. Arghhhh....

Yates, sentenced to life in prison, will be eligible for parole in 2041.

Watch, it'll be 2041 before you know it.

I still don't understand how anybody in THEIR right mind could leave her alone with an infant, let alone four other children.

Tell the courts. If he had left her or taken the kids, she still would have gotten custody. There is no way he would have been able to keep the kids from her.

Yes, she did know right from wrong. However, she came to believe that it was a greater evil for the children to be 'un-pure' and possessed by the devil than it was for her to send them to God for his protection. It was evil that others around her pushed that the devil would get her kids if she didn't perform as she should. If not, it would be HER doing that the devil possessed those babies. THAT IS WHAT IS SO SICK in this entire tragedy.

Exactly. There's definitely more than one mentally ill person responsible for those murders. Unfortunately, only one of them is locked up.
