Andrea Yates, who murdered her five children by drowning them, methodically, one by one in the bathtub as they pleaded for their lives, screaming, "mommy, mommy, please, don't," is found not guilty, but reason of insanity (hey, now I feel better), and is remanded to a mental institution until she is deemed harmless to society. That determination will come, undoubtedly, far to soon. In the meantime, five young, beautiful souls have departed from this earth as a result of the most heinous betrayal imaginable (for me, at least)--children put to death by their own mother.
Contrast this to the convictions of Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling of Enron, whose only crime was running a business that became the victim of mass panic on the part of stupid, know-nothing, fad-following, crybaby investors. Lay's punishment? Execution by stress. And if Skilling's lucky, he'll have the privilege of exiting prison as an old, old man.
What a sham!
Oh, one more thing. Surviror #1 winner Richard Hatch in jail now for 51 months for tax evasion.
(Those five young souls.)
Michael Jackson, child molester, is free, yet the man who ran the jet company that shuttled that sicko Jackson from Vegas to L.A. for his arrest and arraignment is now going to jail because he videotaped that sicko Jackson while on board the plane.
Sick.
With any (sick) luck, the killer of Jessica Lunsford will be cut loose too.
(That sound you are hearing is me vomiting.)
O.J. free.
Abu Graib "hazers" jailed, but terrorists must be accorded every constitutional right, even though they are not U.S. citizens.
I think you get the point.

I thought you were a contrarian. Michael Jackson is innocent.
In terms of Andrea Yates this is called post partum psychosis and it can happen to the best of people. She is the victim of a healthcare system that failed her. She was discharged from hospital after a one week stay and without an anti psychotic presciption.So now five wonderful children are dead. A colleague of mine who is a loving mother and wife jumped in front of of a subway train while holding her infant son.Prior to being inflicted with this illness she was a sane and rational minded person. In my opinion Andrea belongs in a mental health facility where she will get treatment for her condition. Lets not group all killers into the same category.
