I just found out Andrea Yates got life in prison instead of the death penalty...My question to everyone is...Do you think this was a fair decision? I personally think she should have gotten the dealth penalty. She took the life of five innocent children. She KNEW exactly what she was doing and I don't buy that mentally illness crap one bit...

Good question! I don't believe in the death penalty so I think morally it was just....BUT it seems to be inconsistent with some past cases. This may be a little bit off the beaten track but wasn't there a case up for review in Texas a few years back of a mentally disabled man who ended up getting put to death?
