I'm a supporter of the death penalty, but I think Life is the best sentence for this case. I don't think people understand what mental ilness is all about. I think her husband should be punished for child endangerment for leaving her at home and not seeking medical help for her.

You may have a point if Mrs. Yates had schitzophrenia (sp) or dementia, but "depression" is a joke as an excuse. I have been treated for depression many times over the years and even thought of "offing" myself. Nevertheless, it is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR HOMICIDE!!! I agree that her family were MORONS for not getting treatment, but Mrs. Yates is STILL A MURDERER.

God help this country if we ever give anyone a pass for "post partem" depression.

If you can't execute a white woman for murdering her five children what's the point of pretending there is a death penalty ?

You are not being kinder, gentler, more just, or more humane by keeping her in prison for life ? Simply execute or release her. I tire of this hypocrisy.

She should be executed.

I completely agree, her husband should be prosecuted, the blood of his children is all over his hands.... This guy is scum IMHO.
