Two days before the murder, Russel Yates took his wife back to the doctor and requested she be put back on her medication. The doctor denied the request saying Andrea showed no signs of psychosis. He also had his mother coming in to help out with the kids. I'm not saying this guy isn't a pinhead and an idiot but he isn't as bad as people want to make him out to be. Fact is, Andrea Yates killed her kids without help from anyone else. She should have been put to death for it but instead she'll spend life in prison. Her doctor? IMO, needs to be investigated. Either Andrea's defense was a complete lie (which I tend to believe) or else her doctor should not be practicing for not seeing her in the psychosis that contributed to her killing 5 children.

So where was grandmom taking care of the kids when they needed her?

I agree with your comments. But I also think what Rusty knew, didn't know, and how he may have been negligent should be investigated.......he wasn't on trial, so we don't really know what he knew and may have tried to do, to prevent this from happening.....an investigation is at least warranted.

Russell Yates should've challenged that doctor, and if he really was serious about getting his wife back on the meds, he should've found another doctor, ASAP, regardless of what it took or cost.

You are giving his version of the story....he is not a credible witness!!
