	Andrea Yates
		Andrea Yates' odyssey is the focus of a TIME investigation that included 40 hours of conversations with Rusty Yates as well as interviews with his wife's family and friends.
		Andrea told Rusty and her mother that the children were "eating too much." When 4-month-old Luke cried, Andrea would try to rock him to sleep and give him a pacifier, but she would not feed him.
		Andrea then refused to sign forms admitting herself to Devereux, leading her attending psychiatrist Mohammed Saeed and the staff to prepare letters asking a Texas judge to confine her to the Austin State Hospital because, they said, her condition was dangerous.

	CNN.com - Yates sentenced to life in prison - March 15, 2002
		As Andrea Yates was led from the courtroom by officers, she looked back toward her mother and siblings.
		Yates, 37, was convicted earlier this week on two counts of capital murder for the drowning of her 6-month-old daughter, Mary, and her sons Noah, 7 and John, 5.
		The difference between a verdict of guilty and one of not guilty by reason of insanity in the Yates trial hinged on one key issue: whether Yates knew what she was doing when she drowned the children was wrong.

		Did Andrea Yates kill her children to get revenge against her husband, deceiving her husband, her husband's mother, the doctors, and the children as part of an overall strategy, and then later blame it on religion, knowing that feminists the world over would side with her, and find a way to blame her husband?
		A major part of the reaction has been to argue that her husband, Russell Yates, should also be found guilty of murder, because he didn't prevent his wife from killing the children.
		It may well be that Andrea thought she could kill her five children as revenge against her husband and get away with it, knowing that feminists the world over would support her, based on the kinds of statements that feminists have made now in support of Andrea.

		Andrea Yates, wearing a white sweater, sat next to her lawyers at the defense table in the courtroom.
		So narrow are the nuances of the state's centuries-old law that it was not enough for Yates' defense lawyers to simply prove that she twice attempted suicide, had been hospitalized four times for psychiatric care and nursed a psychosis before the drownings clearly documented in thousands of pages of medical records.
		No, Andrea's motives may have been delusional, but if she were able to distinguish right from wrong — good from evil —; while committing the crime, jurors had little choice but to reject her plea of not guilty by reason of insanity and convict her.
