WHAT?!
What really happened is a women drowned her five kids and the father blames everyone but himself and his wife....And because she didn't get the death penalty, we will be treated to 40 years of candel light vigils, and the incesant wail of those who champion irresponsibility...I am sick of it.
There may have been complicit factors but they are not exculpatory...to defend Yates, and ostensibly absolve her [them] of responsibility is ridiculous.
The whole notion of Not Guilty by reason of Insanity exemplifys the liberal mindset. She is Guilty of first of Murder, despite the fact she may or maynot be insane.
This country should adopt Gulty and Insane as a verdict. We would save mountains of lawyer fees, and this jury would have returned the verdict in less than 5 minutes.
