Andrea Yates trial

Andrea Yates trial.
In June of 2001, Andrea Yates Made a call to her husband Russle Yates at 9:56 in the morning, not even an hour had passed since Russle Yates had left home for work. She did not ask her husband to come home but demanded, her exact words were “you need to come home, It’s Time”. Her husband hurried home and called Andrea while he was behind the wheel asking is anybody hurt and Andrea simply said “yes”. At 9:48 Andrea call 911 asking for a police officer, but would not tell police telecommunicator, Dorene Stubblefield why she need the help of police only sign of danger was Andreas irregular breathing.
WSWS news described this whole trial as a “terrible miscarriage of justice” and I couldn’t agree more. Her husband new she was ill, and mentally not stable, why would you trust her with their children. In my opinion To me the law is very “black and White” meaning If you break the law, you break the law if you didn’t you didn’t. Simple as that, Andrea Yates should have been convicted of murder, all 5 counts. In the state of Texas a person can be found insane if, because of mental illness he/she does not know the crime is wrong. Let’s just say that Andrea Yates for a fact did not know that what she did was wrong, why would she call her husband tell him to come home? Why did she call 911? I don’t know about you guys but when I call 911 is not to tell them good news, it is because something is WRONG. Andrea murdered all her five children, But prosecutors held back two of the five charges so they could try her again, resulting in her being not convicted of murder. Why would the state try her again if the evidence is so clear? They should also let Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, and John Wayne Gacy walk free on account that they were mentally ill too. In my opinion this case has all the sign of premeditated murder, yeah she might have been mentally ill but it doesn’t excuse the fact that 5 innocent children’s life’s are now gone and the
