Until the State of Texas passes a law allowing for a true insanity defense, which, IMO, is definitely warranted in this case, then Andrea Yates will forever be in limbo. I am a staunch law and order advocate for victim's rights, but in this case, Yates is a poster child for insanity. She needs to live out the rest of her days in a hospital, where someone can monitor her meds and make sure she can never harm herself or anyone else - ESPECIALLY herself. I think it is telling that the prison hospital cannot put her on a full dose of the anti-psychotic meds, because when she "comes back" to reality, she is so overwhelmed by what she did that she tries to do harm to herself. THAT, my friends, is a person with a true mental illness, not a faker, not a scam artist, and she does not deserve to be in prison. However, unless the law changes, it does not matter what kind of re-trial she gets, she will still wind up in prison because the jury cannot find any other way - she did it, we all know she did it, and prison is the only alternative the state provides!
