NOT GUILTY
This is very disturbing to me.
It seems that the more horrific the crime, the less punishment is received, because "nobody 'sane' could do something like that." It's like being rewarded for the greusomness of the crime.
God bless these precious children, and may they rest in Jesus' arms forever.
What you posted has already played out on our 6PM local TV news in Houston. The anchors are already just saying "Andrea Yates has been found not guilty!" Period. End of sentence.
They talked with a jury member earlier - he may have been the foreman, but I wasn't paying enough attention to note that.
He said 5 of them argued over the wording, because they wanted it to be "GUILTY BUT INSANE." I wish they could have worked something out along those lines.
DA Rosenthal is still "thinking it over" about whether to try her on the charges for the other children.
Yup, NGBROI just becomes "Not Guilty." And Rusty is glad she will be able to have a normal life some time in the future.
