A bit of good news today-- Andrea Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

About time.

Well, I've heard a bunch of "oh my god how could she do that she's horrible and should get the chair!" talk from people about her. And I honestly think that if there has to be 'blame' in the situation . . . it doesn't mean that I don't feel awful for those kids, or that I think he's rejoicing over his children being gone. But in the end, he was sane, and she wasn't. And the consequences for ignoring the doctor's warnings were horrible.

(I will chalk some of this up to reading the short story The Cold Equations at probably far too young an age. ;-))
