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

About time.

It was the condesending tone of the poster. It came across as 'women are blameless, men should be castrated.' Might not be what was meant, but that's how it came across.

*shrug* I honestly saw nothing of broad male/female generalizations in her talking about specific people in a specific case. (I make no claims as to everyone in the comments, since I haven't read all of those yet)

You'll just have to ignore me, because I'm honestly not sure I even agree with the ruling.

as in, you don't think she's crazy? That she never suffered from PPD?

My views on the insanity defense in general are extremely muddled and jaded. It's very difficult to prove if someone was or wasn't in their right mind and responsible for their actions at the time of the crime.
