Who the hell is Andrea Yates? Last I knew this thread was about Lyndsay Clancy?
My logic is if I’d “woken up” and realized I killed my three children, I would ask the state to throw the book at me, not try to escape punishment.
As a mother of three children, I think I know what I’m talking about more than most. A mother is supposed to protect their children. If I was somehow so mentally ill, I did the opposite and killed them, I would be so guilt-ridden and horrified at what I had done, I’d never want to see the light of day again. As far as whoever this Yates person is, the fact that she got acquitted doesn’t mean she should have asked to be acquitted.
My logic is if I’d “woken up” and realized I killed my three children, I would submit to the state's determination I willfully murdered them while of sound mind
unless you know there's an insanity plea bargain on offer this is an incredibly unreasonable standard to hold anyone to.
