How about we give Yates some Ritilan, that would make her sane to stand
trial and when she's found guilty then execute her?

Ritalin isn't an antipsychotic.

Besides -- she WAS sane enough to stand trial; that was not the issue.
The issue was whether she was sane *when she drowned her kids*. The
jury's judgement was that she was not.

Thank you for your understanding of Andrea Yates' situation.
It was obvious to many that she was a good mother until she went over
the edge.
~ And the quote you mentioned here? I have made note of it, I will
always remember and share it, even though I will unfortunately never
know what it is be a parent. I'm sure it's the hardest job in the
universe. How many people can say that they never felt like strangling
their kids for some stupid reason but did not because they are sane? I
am nowhere near a bleeding heart liberal but I think I understand human
nature.
