Andrea Yates

Today was my first day of class but for everybody else it was the second. I didn’t know what to expect coming into class, so I sat right in the front. The teacher was going through her lecture, and the thing that caught my attention was this lady named Andrea Yates. I never heard the story of this woman unlit today. She was a woman who drowned her five kids in a bathtub. The kids ranged from 6 months to 7 years old. They said the reason she done this was “post mortem depression ". What I don’t understand is why she was put in a mental hospital. For this reason it gives women an excuse to kill their children, and then cop the insane plea. Andrea is crazy but I hate the fact that she opened up door for this disorder. I was always told that’s there’s three sides to a story, and for some reason i don’t believe hers was interiorly true. I think she should have been sentenced to death.
