And why did he keep having children? Was he hoping one more would make it right?
Really that desperate to blame the man are we, eh? NOW we have HIM having the babies?
Hogwash. Earth to craig... men don't HAVE babies. Women HAVE babies. To imply that if a man has sex with a woman HE is responsible for her murdering them five or six years later... And you consider yourself a conservative, who believes in the rule of law? It sounds like the rule of estrogen around here to me.
How 'bout this? SHE kept on having sex and getting pregnant. SHE could have left home. SHE could have said NO. SHE could have used the pill, or norplant or DOZENS of forms of conception prevention methods. Maybe HE thought that she WANTED a big family and that the depression would pass this time like it had the others.
But no, to desperate freepers, who see women who kill as "obviously a victim" instead of the vicious murderers and predators they are, this conviction of the woman alone cannot stand. No matter where, no matter how, there is always a man who is somehow "equally responsible" to hang, blame, charge, make pay, incarcerate, or in this case, put to death.
After all, he clearly abused her. Locked her in that trailer as his sex-pregnancy slave. Fed her bread and water, chained to that bed. Forced sex on her to get her prenant, and denied her medical care. Who knows what kind of abuse must have REALLY gone on in that household? It MUST have been that way! Women just don't do evil things, without having a man who is equally responsible or actually even the cause of their evil!!! Find that man, any man, and strap HIM to the chair and fry him. Let the poor woman off the moral hook and put her in a mental institution for seven or eight years so she can heal from her experience as a victim of this wicked man. She will never fully recover from what HE obviously did. </ sarcasm >
I know who REALLY needs the meds, and it ain't anybody in the Yates family.
Perhaps if you all get a petition together, you could freep this prosecutor and let him know by force of freeperdom that YOU believe that the evil MAN forced her to go through evil pregnancy after evil pregnancy and used the mental duress to drive her to kill her kids.
Then you could go for the death penalty.
