Popeman38 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 http://www.cnn.com/ How can someone physically hold five young children under water and drown them and now only be sentenced to mental health institute with periodic reviews for when to release her. I do not understand how this can happen. Nowadays anyone can do anything and with the insanity plea only serve minimal time in a state hospital. Now that I have said that, let the stoning of me for my narrow minded ways begin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 She'll never be released so I guess you can say that's a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The 42-year-old will be committed to a state mental hospital, with periodic hearings before a judge to determine whether she should be released." Sounds to me like she has the possibility of being released. She shouldn't have the possibility to BREATHE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 An earlier jury had found Yates guilty of murder in her children's deaths, but that verdict was overturned on appeal because erroneous testimony Sounds like the last prosecutor blew it.

stwasm Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well, think of Shannon Smith, who got life in prison for killing her children. Guess Yates had a better lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 Sounds like the last prosecutor blew it. No, this jury blew it. Sytematically drowning 5 children in a row, there has to be rational thought involved. She went from oldest to youngest to avoid a fight...

LeesburgSkinFan Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Rule #1: You have to be a woman. Absolutely. If Mr. Yates had done this crime he'd be sitting on Texas' death row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She shouldn't have the possibility to BREATHE! It is sad when the value of a child's life is worth less than the sanity of a murderer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well, think of Shannon Smith, who got life in prison for killing her children. Guess Yates had a better lawyer. It was Susan. Whatever her name is, she deserves to be put to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She shouldn't have the possibility to BREATHE! That's just window dressing by the court. Unless a complete idiot is running the place, she isn't going ANYWHERE. There are some people in Clifton T. Perkins Mental Hospital in Jessup that have been housed there since the 50's. I think she would have a hard time convincing even the most gullible shrink that she is sane, and ok to be set free.

All lethal injection does is put the person to sleep BEFORE administering the fatal serum. The legal system says doing it any other way is "cruel." Let them spend the rest of their life rotting, having to think about what they did and get harassed by their prison's finest inmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchwood Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I don't get the concept of "not guilty by reason of insanity" IT is like saying you didn't commit the crime cuz you are insane. It should be "guilty by reason of insanity" than it is you commited the crime cuz you are insane. either way she should be on death row, what she did is one of the most detestable acts that i have ever heard of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fight_on_til_you_have_won Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Because that costs me more money! Actually, the costs of executing a prisoner are a lot higher than you'd think. If I can find some figures, I'll post them. EDIT: Here's a link to a page full of figures from various states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 All I'm going to say is this..... What do we do with a "mad" dog?.... we put it down. What do we do with a "mad" human being?... put it in a box and pay for a bunch of clowns to try and fix it at the public's expense. The first sounds like a much better option, regardless of what species the "mad" animal happens to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokerPacker Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 couldn't we just blow her head off with a shotgun or something? how much would that cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 couldn't we just blow her head off with a shotgun or something? how much would that cost? Again, that would be considered "too cruel." Although it does make me ask the question, "What about those defenseless kids?" I'll probably get blasted for this, but God will take care of her in due course.

@DCGoldPants Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 No, this jury blew it. Sytematically drowning 5 children in a row, there has to be rational thought involved. She went from oldest to youngest to avoid a fight... Dude, I agree that she is still guilty and should never see the light of day again, maybe even get death. But reading how you said that, just made me think she IS insane. Sytematically drowning 5 children in a row How could that be considered sane in any way shape or form? Insane people will cut into their own skin for hours thinking something is under there. They will "sytematically" do it until they kill themselves. Does that make then rational? Or really lost in their own corrupted minds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to take 5 youg children and drown them in the bathtub you have to think about that first. You have to formulate a plan. You have to have reasons. Just because you are sick doesn't change the fact that you methodically took human life and the right to live away from these kids. PERIOD. Death is the only fitting punishment.
