Andrea Yates
... Some women take this feeling for granted, as did Andrea Yates. Andrea Yates was a thirty seven year old woman who seemed to be a wonderful and loving mother to her five children, all under the age of seven. By surprise, Andrea believed she had to save her children from the devil by killing them. ... Soon after Andrea realized what she had done, she called the police and was arrested immediately. Andrea pleaded guilty by reason of insanity and received life in prison. ... When Andrea Yates held each child down under water and believed she was saving them, shows something is mentally wrong with her. ... Andrea Yates was far from being mentally stable, and any person who believes the devil tells them to kill her own children, is clearly not a normal individual. A mother who is capable of harming her children in any state of mind has to be insane; therefore, Andrea Yates deserves the death penalty despite her insanity.
