Andrea Yates-It is about time for you to die!

[spongebob]

That's the wrong decision.

Mrs. Yates has special needs that should be addressed. We are only focused on punishing and not getting to the real issue-----why people do the things they do.

do you believe in the death penalty ryanh?

 

[BO-CEPHUS]

ryan, do you think osama should be put to death? i could have sworn you said he should be killed. maybe he just has mental problems and needs understanding.

BINGO!

Come on Ryan....do not turn to a hyporcrite on us here. Will you stand up for Osama like you do every other murderer in this country. You know it is all societies fault.

Put a bullet in that bithces head and be done with it. I would love to do it myself.

Bocephus--
The distinguishing difference between taking Bin Laden's life and not taking Mrs. Yates life is that Bin Laden is a threat we have been unable to contain------the only way to contain Bin Laden might be to kill him. Thus, we should kill him.

Do I feel he should die? Certaintly. But Mrs. Yates would pose no threat if behind bars?

And, to answer someone's question: Of course, I'm opposed to the death penalty b/c it serves no purpose, it's not a deterrent to crime, and it's racially administered.

I never knew that a dead person could commit another crime. On the other hand, there are many criminals who have gotten out on parole and committed more crimes.

Mrs. Yates has mental issues. No "normal" mother would drown her kids. If she dies, her husband should have to die along with her----for not helping his wife.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!
We actually agree 100% on an issue?
I guess miracles will never cease!

This woman was suffering from depression so severe that she was psychotic.
Now, yes, we weren't there for the hearing that found her "competent," but (Ryan correct me if I'm wrong) that's only to stand trial. BIG MISTAKE. This woman could and should get off by reason of insanity. Now who wouldn't believe this woman was insane at the time?
And yes, her husband is soooooooo to blame, probably even moreso. I think he should have been indicted, at the least, for criminally negligent homicide.
She should, (and I know you'll agree with me on this one Ryan ) spend the next 20 years in an institution and have her uterus removed.

I couldn't care less if you are mentally retarded, depressed, or just plain insane....you kill someone, you ass deserves to die.

Sad how people in this country make victims out of criminals.

She is completely insane. Unfortunately, many of the tests courts use to find someone insane are very difficult to prove...i.e. the McNaughten test. But overall, I do believe she should put away from society, so she doesn't pose more danger, but at the same time, as you also mention BabyDoc, her husband has some responsiblity in this whole tragedy.

From what I've read, he simply treated her like shit. It's not fair from him to walk away from this whole tragedy as the grieving poor father.

Do you think it is barbaric to kill someone who is unconscious of the crime he or she committed?

No



I fully believe that Yates knew exactly what she was doing.

No

Agreed.

I believe Yates knew exactly what she was doing.

Even if she didn't, do I think it's barbaric to kill someone unconscious of the crime he or she committed?

NO

She committed a CRIME.
She committed MURDER.
She MURDERED her FIVE CHILDREN.

She
must
DIE.
