I guess I'm just surprised at his support to Andrea.
Yeah really. I would think at the very least he would just remove himself from the situation. If he wanted to say something then just issue a press release from his lawyers.
The main part of the Andrea Yates story is that people do do go doctors and pay them for working on cases that they just do not understand. People are misdiagnosed and their illnesses are misunderstood.
Shall we blame Andrea Yates for being sick, or shall we blame doctors who did not serve their patient well?
Shall we blame a husband for not understanding the depth of the mental illness of of his wife?
Shall we blame society for closing the mental hospitals and making mental health care not readily available to all, giving the mentally ill a pill, and expecting them no longer to be sick, yet leaving them in the very same enviroment?
