In some point in time this state has got to address the issues concerning mental illness and the law. I'm not critiquing or criticising the verdict but it seems to me that we are still back in the days of the Salem witchcraft where we take a demonised woman and take her life." ABC 16. Still photo of Yates' family STORYLINE: Andrea Yates, the 37-year-old housewife who admitted she drowned her five children, was convicted of murder on Tuesday by a jury that rejected her claim of insanity in just three and a half hours. Yates, who could be sentenced to death or to life in prison, showed little reaction as she stood between her attorneys during the verdict. In the audience, her husband, Russell, muttered "Oh God" and clasped his head with both hands. The penalty phase begins on Wednesday. Yates was convicted of two charges of capital murder. The charges cover the deaths of three of her children. Deliberations began at midday after prosecutors told the jury of eight women and four men that even though Yates is mentally ill, she knew drowning her children was wrong and is thus guilty of murder. The defense argued that she suffered from postpartum depression so severe that she had lost her ability for rational thought. Defense attorney George Parnham told the jury in the closely watched case: "This is an opportunity for this jury to make a determination about the status of women's mental health. Make no mistake, the world is watching." After deliberating more than two hours, jurors passed a note to District Judge Belinda Hill asking for the definition of insanity. Thirty minutes later, jurors asked for a cassette player. Among items in evidence are audiotapes of Yates' confession and her call to police the day of the drownings. Last year, Yates called her five children into the bathroom one by one and drowned them in the tub, then called the police to tell authorities what she had done. Police found 7-year-old Noah in the tub; the other children were under a wet sheet on a bed. According to testimony, Yates was overwhelmed by the responsibilities of raising five children and believed she was a bad mother. She had suffered severe depression and had attempted suicide. She was on trial for the deaths of Noah, 5-year-old John and 6-month-old Mary, though there were only two capital murder charges filed.

SOUNDBITE (English) Kaylynn Williford, Prosecutor: "He's gonna tell you that he walked into the living room area where she was seated on the love seat and he looked her in the eye and she looked at him and he said: 'Do you know what you have done?' And she looked him in the eye and said: 'Yes, I do.'" 7. Rusty Yates sitting in courtroom STORYLINE Prosecutors on Monday opened their case in the retrial of a Texas woman accused of drowning her five children in a bathtub, saying she did so because she thought she was a bad mother and wanted to be punished. Andrea Yates' attorneys do not dispute that she drowned the children, but argue she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis and didn't know at the time that her actions were wrong - the legal definition of insanity in the US state. The facts of the case haven't changed since Yates' first murder trial. What her defence team hopes has changed is the public's view of mentally ill defendants. Since Yates' 2002 conviction, which was overturned on appeal, several other Texas mothers have killed their children and been found not guilty by reason of insanity. As in her first trial, Yates has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to killing seven-year-old Noah, five-year-old John and six-month-old Mary. She was not charged in the deaths of two-year-old Luke and three-year-old Paul, which is not uncommon in a case involving multiple slayings. Her defence attorney told the jury that Yates told a prison psychiatrist that the only way she could save her children was to kill them because she was a bad mother and Satan was living inside her. He said Yates also told the psychiatrist she was hearing demons in jail and thought "666" - a symbol of the Antichrist - was written on her scalp. Yates' 2002 conviction was overturned last year because of erroneous testimony. Prosecutors maintain Yates planned the murders during the small window of time when she would be home alone with the youngsters on June 20, 2001, after her husband went to work and before her mother-in-law arrived. Then, prosecutors say, she called her husband and the emergency services and later confessed. If convicted of capital murder, Yates will be sentenced to life in prison. The first jury rejected the death penalty in 2002 and prosecutors cannot seek death again because they did not find new evidence. =============== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
