wow, Andrea Yates found guilty...

[ladymacbeth]

nice post Mr. George...Have you read anything or seen anything about this husband? For some reason, I think his behavior is really intriguing...what was his role in the trial? I know that he said, at least in the same press conference I mentioned, that he did believe she was insane...hmmmm...

Don't know quite what to think...anyone? I know there was a big thread on this...I'm anti-death penalty, and basically kind of stunned. Damn.

good, now lets get that stupid bitch that ran over that homeless man and rid society of its filth.

He believed, and correctly so, that she was mentally ill... and she was definitely getting the revolving door of psychiatric care prior to her murdering her children.

The mistake he, and most others, made in assessing her situation was the assumption that mentally ill/psychotic behavior was a standard for an insanity defense. It is not.

He played a minor role in the trial, a summary of his pretrial depositions is simply to support the defense that she exhibited mentally ill behavior prior to her murdering her children.

I think a big part of why his behavior is so intriguing is to see his "nice guy" support of his wfe in light of the horrific nature and brutal cruelity of her crime. I think guilt must play very heavily on what he is going through and went through. Clearly he knew his wife was a whack job and clearly he did not take appropriate actions to protect his children. He is supposed to be the "sane" one of the two... and it is very easy to judge someone's actions in hindsight... but I think a big part of what we saw playing out was his own guilt that he did not take the actions necessary to keep his children safe. I would not want to live the rest of my life in his shoes.

Hm, yes, the armchair detective in me can't wait to see this trial.

SofaGeorge, I wish I would have followed the trial more closely, thanks for the great posts. I still wonder how much this husband knew about what would happen...I mean, how could he leave one day, having no idea that this sort of thing was on her mind? I suppose my idea of marriage is not the same as this dude's...clearly...

she deserves death plain and simple. What a sick cunt. Husband is a dumb shit. He should of realized something was wrong and if anything at this point wanted her killed. The bitch that got life for driving her kids into a lake and blaming it on a black guys husband wanted her fried.

Right! WTF?!?!
If I were to hurt, much less murder, my daughter I know my b/f would kill me---and definitely vice versa......
It's my understanding that your children come before anyone else.

that not guilty by insanity is bullshit. john douglas, the original fbi profiler, spoke at my college once and said that despite all the claims that serial killers are insane because of the crazy, sadistic shit they do to people, NOT ONE attempted to attack someone in an unopprutune situation.


If you try to kill someone in the middle of a mall on a saturday with police officers and hundreds of witnesses around, then you may not understand right from wrong. But if you wait until you have an opprutunity to attack a victim away from people or law enforcement, then you know what you are doing is wrong.

I've never heard anyone provide an argument against that.

That's fucking solid immortal juicer, you've never heard an arguement against it because there is none.
