Former 'mom of the year' nominee Andrea Yates goes back on trial today for drowning her 5 children, ages 6 mos to 7 years old in 2001. Her conviction was overturned when the court determined that a prosecution witnesses testimony about Yates watching "an episode of Law & Order" and getting the drowning idea from that was incorrect.
Why? Was she actually watching "Wheel of fortune"? And how could this possibly matter?
We have slipped so far and so stupidly into the abyss of wordsmithing attorneys and judges that a woman can murder her 5 children and then get off on a technicality like which TV show she was watching the previous night. Her defense team is attempting to prove that she was and still is - legally insane. Is there anyone out there doing the same for the brain-dead judge and court for overturning this? No, I think not. How about the imbeciles that continue to protect and proliferate laws that hurt the populace and allow the terminally corrupt to flourish?
Did she drown her kids? Yes, she did. Should she be allowed to go free or potentially go free down the road? No, she should not. Is she a menace to society? Yes, she is. She drowned her 5 children - there is no need to prove to me she is insane - I'm convinced. Put her on a gurney and give her the "night-night" injection that Timothy McVeigh received.
Perhaps we are the insane ones for allowing this to occur. I'm sure there are thousands of advocates (maybe 100's of thousands) who will no doubt say - "That's the law".
That's right, it is. So change it.
