I would catergorize Andrea Yates condition as "planned insanity." As far as Rusty Yates, he was highly supportive of Andrea's insanity conviction, making all kinds of excuses for her, but never mentioning how horrible it was what his kids went through. He, IMO, never showed any consideration for their right to justice, and just treatment. I feel really sorry that those kids had to have ever experienced either one of those two parents. :?
