[Atticus]

As someone experienced in capital litigation, I can tell this sentence is not surprising. There just was not much evidence showing a continuing threat to society and the defense put on a good mitigating circumstances case. All along, I felt that the insanity defense was simply an early attempt to plant the seeds of mitigation evidence in the jury's head.

I would ask the jury: Would you feel safe sleeping in the same prison cell as Andrea Yates? Would you ever turn your back on her for an instant? This woman used a bathtub to murder five children. A pillow is a lethal weapon in her hands.
