Betting it'll be life. They would have discussed the death penalty longer.

Rush L just said the verdict was in...not announced yet.

More to follow as announced.

The murderous b!tch deserves the needle.

Since this is Texas, I think she's going to get it.

[chance33_98]

They should give her death by drowning.

[chance33_98]

If they put this B!tch down I will be having a good riddance party at my house...

[Bikers4Bush]

Too bad they can't sentence her to drowning.

Its Life

LIFE IT IS

[BigBlueJon]

Life with or without parole?

Oh, well...I would have gone for death myself, but it was their call to make. Whether it was death, life or an insanity verdict, she was almost certainly going to live longer after this than any of the kids did anyway.

Life in prison, ETERNITY in hell.

Best commentary is on Court TV.

With all this talk about Yates on the radio and TV, my wife said something the other night that struck me: If Andrea Yates was a man he would not only have his insanity plea thrown out (like Andrea), but a man would most likely get the death penalty. I had to stop and think about that because most of punditry talk has been pretty focused on the facts of the case. What struck me was that my wife is exactly right.

[Consort]

She wants to run the prison day care center and help wet nurse the infants. When she gets out, she plans to make a living as a nanny, or a babysitter, or an au pair.

[Faraday]

The verdict is a shame. It suggests that the jury is somewhat less civilized than their quick verdict hinted at. Nevertheless, they should be congratulated for not giving into the "medicalizing" of criminal behavior.

[who knows what evil?]

About how much will it cost the taxpayers of Texas to house, clothe, and feed this woman for the next 40 years? Just ballpark...about 1.5 million dollars, or so?

[Pagey]

This is really amazing!Now,you can not only kill your child in the womb, you can also kill your kids after they're born and live out your natural life,AND you'll certainly receive "Supervised Home Visits" in a few years ala John Hinckley.Expect it!

[BibChr]

No matter how much you-all rationalize, this is not justice. Justice is equity, if it is anything. You take $50, you must restore at least that value. You take a life, you must restore at least that value. Getting three hots and a cot at taxpayer expense isn't justice, it's a travesty.

BADLY DONE, Texas.

I'm just curious about something. We have in this country doctor's whose job it is to make sure babies are not born alive. They are legally santioned to kill. Some doctors have been known to stick freshly born infants in a bucket of water to drown them. And then we have this crazy mother who drowns her five children and somehow what she did is more grievous than a doctor who drowns a baby that had the audacity to not die during the abortion? I guess I can understand now why the NOW gang is rooting for Andrea. The only difference is that the doctors who perform abortions are not insane.
