Drown the Jury. A group of evil, irresponsible Texans has trivialized and approved the murder of five small children by their own mother, as part of the ongoing assault upon sanity and decency we see everywhere in this demented country.

Andrea Yates drowned all five of her young children, some of whom fought desperately for life, in details you can see in a commentary today by Mona Charen entitled "Andrea Yates, Insanity and Guilt" that concludes:

Expert witnesses disagree all the time about the nature, extent and effects of mental illnesses. It therefore falls upon juries to use their common sense as to whether a defendant understood what he or she was doing. Many jurors have difficulty applying the words "not guilty" to a person like Andrea Yates -- crazy though she clearly is. For moral clarity as much as anything, there ought to be an option for "guilty but insane."

I don't care what a person's deluded motivation may be for a horrible crime. It is the crime that matters, and the crime must be punished. She didn't understand that what she was doing was wrong? So what? Of what conceivable importance is that? Who cares? She did it. She should die for it. Period.

The insanity defense is a crime against society that must be abolished everywhere. The legislators and governor responsible for the Texas statute that plays patty-cake with a multiple murderess should be drowned, along with every member of the jury who took the side of a murderess against her victims, and the judges who required a retrial. Drag them screaming to a tub and hold them each, in sequence, under water until they die, and let each one yet to be executed see what is going to happen to them so they have time to appreciate the panic and mental torment of the children the woman they so sympathize with went thru. Drown them all.

(The current U.S. military death toll in Iraq, according to the website "Iraq Coalition Casualties", is 2,571.)
