The Andrea Yates Trial
Andrea Yates, on trial for the drowning of her five children in the bathtub of their Houston home, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. What do you think?
-
This poor woman lost five children. Hasn't she suffered enough?
Rhonda Rowe
Homemaker -
This is just a sad case of someone letting their child-killing impulses get out of control.
Bill Jackson
Systems Analyst -
You know, a high percentage of child fatalities in the home occur in the bathtub. Who's to say the statistics didn't catch up to her all at once?
Maxwell Bosch
Lawyer -
Yates killed not one, but five children? Wow, they certainly do do everything bigger in Texas.
Bob Putnam
File Clerk -
I can't shake the feeling that four or five years from now, we're in for the creepiest fucking Oprah guest ever.
Denise Pflaum
Nurse -
The jury should declare Andrea Yates guilty by reason of drowning five children in a bathtub.
