SKY POSTED:"I'm not posting to try and cause readers to begin to think just like me (though, I must admit at times I think that would be nice ) but to really begin deep thinking on things. This subject especially requires no less. imo."

Sky..I will have to admit you have me thinking..REALLY thinking..as you all do..but your comments have really got me digging deep..I am a pretty stubborn one..Can you tell?
Daniella..I admire the fact that you shared your story with all of us and how you have been to the point of feeling you "might" want to harm yourself or your children..all I have to say to that is..YOU DIDN"T..You pointed out the obvious fact that Yates was taken off of a certain drug right before she murdered her children and that this might have contributed to her "going over" and committing the crime..this makes me wonder if the Doctor that did this is somehow going to take some of the blame for her actions? Any mention of this..I thought I heard something from the family..can't remember? Again, my piont to Sky was..although Yates had a history of mental illness that does not nessarily mean that she was "insane"..their is a huge difference..and although she could have had a Psychotic episode, as you say, I find that hard to believe after everything she can remember and everything that she meticulously planned and laid out..Just my opinion though.

Sky..I have no doubt that this is going to turn religious on all fronts..you made a comment earlier about "The Prosecutor made the satement that there was no evidence to the idea that Yates was driven my Satan"
This is a hard one..because if he states that Satan is just Evil in its finest..and that Yates acted on that evilness..although he was trying to help the Prosecution..he actually helped the defense..know what I mean? The Prosecution wants to keep all religious ideology out of it..to bring it in helps the insanity plea..as it did..

CANDYBEAR...((((HUGS TO YOU))))) I know this subject must continually bring up bad memories for you..and I can't imagine what the outcome of the Yates trial did on your emotions... Looking at Mothers like you who choose a better route for their children is one more reason why people like Yates make me so angry..I only hope that you look at this forum and see that not only do a lot of people care about you and your feelings..but that you started a great topic that many are interested in discussing and arguing nicely!!
