Ashley Yates

This story is so incredibly sad and depressing! Those kids were so little and so innocent and because of their "mother" they never got to be able to appreciate what life has to offer.  I do believe Yates is legally insane, because no mother would ever do something like that in my opinion.  Someone in class said that if she wasn't insane she would have realized what she was doing after she murdered her first child.  She wouldn't have continued, but she did and then to call the police..if she wasn't insane she would have fled, not called.  I don't like the insanity defense because in a way I look it at as an excuse, as a way out of punishment, but I do believe she was/is insane and she should continue to be in jail.  She do hard time in my opinion, not be in an institution.
