Not only was Rusty Yates with 4 family members in New York with Katie on Monday morning, he was with Larry King Live Monday night. Who's picking up the tab for him to fly all over the country, like a celebrity? He's being interviewed ever so gently, and the man seems to be lapping it up. He's promoting himself. Book deal? of course!!

I couldn't believe it when he told Larry King, yes, he would always support Andrea, but "the purpose of marriage is companionship and to bear children and with both those things gone"... Chills, he gave me chills. It's obscene to me that Rusty Yates is now in the self-promotional business of spinning.

If there is any serious consideration of appealing the verdict, I missed it.

I couldn't believe it when he told Larry King, yes, he would always support Andrea, but "the purpose of marriage is companionship and to bear children and with both those things gone"... Chills, he gave me chills.

I watched the LK interview also and got the same chills--Yates is clueless. How can any parent go though such a tragedy, the loss of the kids and essentially his wife, only to yak it up all over national TV the day she receives her formal sentencing. He has yet to learn how to moderate what he says and where he says it.

The selfish attitude Yates exhibited last night explains why he didn't recognize the serious problems in his own house.

The more we hear from Russell Yates the more evident it becomes that he was a Controllist and he had a piece of clay in Andrea...he molded her every which way to suit Him. Timothy Roche did a lengthy piece for TIME.com on Jan. 20, 2002 titled THE YATES ODYSSEY...I printed out the ll pages. Example: "The family had Bible study three nights a week in the living room because Rusty had not found a church he liked." I seem to remember seeing Mr. Yates officiating over the 5 small coffins of his children - not a tear could I see. He waxed eloquent in place of the pastor of the local church which handled the arrangements...keep in mind the Yates family Had no church. IMO Rusty Yates drove his wife, Andrea, crazy. The wrong person is in prison.
