Ive heard about that, But I dunno for sure who it is, but I will ask around or look on the net to see to make sureVamPyroX said:Wasn't there an article that said that Yates talked to a cellmate about how she "acted" insane?
Kalista said:A Texas appeals court in Houston Thursday reversed the capital murder convictions of Andrea Yates, the woman who drowned her five children in a bathtub, citing the false testimony of a prosecution witness.
According to a report from The Associated Press, Yates' lawyers argued last month before a three-judge panel of the First Court of Appeals in Houston that psychiatrist Park Dietz was wrong when he said he consulted on an episode of the TV show "Law and Order" involving a woman found innocent by reason of insanity for drowning her children.
After Yates was convicted, attorneys in the case and jurors learned no such episode existed, the AP reported.
Jurors in 2002 sentenced Yates to life in prison in the 2001 deaths of three of her children. She was not tried in the deaths of the other two.
Yates told authorities that Satan told her to kill the children. Despite a documented history of mental illness, a jury rejected her plea of innocent by reason of insanity and convicted her of murder in 2002. She was sentenced to life in prison but will be eligible for parole in 40 years.
MOD: I could not find old thread to be merge this.

Dinosq quote this!!!
Hello! Andrea is a seriously mental ill! It is not a very happy ending for her and all of us too. it is very very sad at least she gets help at the hospital. Russell is also the responsible. She left many clues of her mental instability and her husband pressured her to deal with something that was went over her head. In my opinion, Russell should have been partly responsible for the very sad situation. Her husband ignored the psychiatrists' advise for the mother not to get pregnant. He forced her to homeschool the kids while being sick, etc. He pretty much abandoned her on her own and a unfortunate tragedy happened. The real victims were the kids.
BTW have you heard of the Post-Partum Depression? if not ... You should read this info --
Depression after pregnancy is called postpartum depression or peripartum depression

JohnnyE said:Wheter she was mentally ill or not. She still has the responsiblity and what if the nutcase that she is slipped sleeping pills into her husband's beer then he goes to bed and she pulls down his pants and opens her legs then closes his pants back up then she is pregnant without his permission. You never know. It is bad enough to kill an adult but to kill a child or the children really is very evil. Maybe her husband had many scary experiences with her that he can't really discuss because he is a man and the news media does not even know the another half of the story. My mom when she was sick, she had me do homework at night time. I asked her questions about my homework. That is no different than home schooling. You ever consider that?

Criminals would give any advice how to beat the system.Just like the Movie called "Double Jeopardy" And there is a such thing called a Double Jeopardy Law.It means you cant charge someone for the same crime twice.Like The court charged this woman for the murder of her ex husband but her ex husband isnt dead and she served 10 year sentence for murder she didnt commit.So an Inmate told her about the Double Jeopardy Law.So she got paroled and then she found her ex husband and shot him to death So they couldnt arrest her again because she already served in prison for murder.Thats the Double Jeopardy Law.
