Who gives a shit if she was insane or not?! She killed her own kids. She should not be allowed to be anywhere near society. She should be drowned. I don't care if her lawyer got his case from Seasame Street. The bitch is damaged goods and 5 kids died because of her.

Wow that took forever.

Someone should 'accidentally' cut her brake cables

Shell still be locked in a looney bin somewhere, Im sure.
I doubt theyll just let her back out on the streets.


edit - incidentally, the Yates family lived one street over from me when we were in the last house. It was creepy too, cuz long after the murders, there were still kids toys in the yard.
Plus every now and then I would see Rusty around the area.

I like how "Law and Order" had something to do with it

It was probably an episode based on her story.

I wish that show would die, it's responsible for more misconceptions than the Catholic Church

Take her out back and shoot her...... what a piece of human filth.

I'd rather not even think about this one. As far as I'm concerned she should never walk free again.

WTF innocence by reason of insanity?! You aren't innocent if you kill someone.

NOT IF YUOR INSANE!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!1

I wish they would just erase the entire chapter in the sheister lawyer books where it says that insanity is okay as a defense. It's just bullshit.

"oh gosh, satan told me to do it..... " Yeah. Right.

Not quite the same. It's "not guilty by reason of insanity", as in not actually committing murder because the defendent was not capable of understanding that he or she was killing someone or was not capable of understanding that what they were doing was wrong, not that they didn't kill someone.

Doesn't matter to me either way, I have pretty strong feelings on this one. She should at least be locked up for the rest of her life.

I can understand if someone is insane, it happens. It's just not an excuse for what you did.

I know, but people still get off on the "excuse."

No it's not an excuse at all. Killing someone is killing someone, I don't give a fuck if that person is batshit crazy or not.

There again, another beautiful loophole in the justice system- someone gives false testimony (based on Law & Order even!) and you through the whole case out the window. Sad and wrong.

Yup batshit.

Beautiful loophole indeed

If she does actually go to prison they could just leave her alone with some of the other inmates for a short time. That would at least be some justice done.
