she will have regular evoluations, the doctors decide when she will be released. was watching the trail and i forget who made the coment. but he said he has seen simular cases where the person usally gets out within 6 years. but she could be released as earily as 6 months but who knows, its very likely she could spend the rest of her days there.
as for yates i dident follow this case closly but i relly dont think she was insane by the state of texas definition. wich is not knowing right from wrong.
hopfully she spend a long long time there, i hear its not much better then prison in some cases worse..
ok just heard some facts on the case. at the time she did this she waited for her husban to leave, she did it before her mother? came over. after she was done she called the police and said she did it because she thought they had saten in them and she knew she would be punished for what she had done. so why she was found not guilty by the law is beyond me because she clearly knew right from wrong. but is it possible to experience psychosis and still be able to determine right from wrong?
