Stop the Madness

I couldn't agree more. What a cruel and tawdry spectacle, indeed, spending time and money to send someone to prison instead of ensuring the mental health treatment she so desperately needs. Does anyone really think that Andrea Yates would ever leave the psychiatric facility into which she should be placed? Anyone who says that an acquittal by reason of insanity, followed by court-supervised placement in a secure mental health facility for years on end, means that Andrea Yates has gotten away with murder or otherwise has not been held accountable, simply has no idea what they are talking about.
