Insanity Plea.

Using the whole not guilty by reason of insanity should not exist. Guilty by reason of insanity makes much for sense. People should not be able to get off of their crimes simply for the fact they didn't know right from wrong. It doesn't change the fact the they still did it. Parents yell at their children and punish them when they do something wrong and yet the child didn't know any better. Either they should get sent to a high security psyche ward, or by put to death if they murdered one or multiple people. Insane or not, these people should be punished for their crimes, even if they didn't realize it was wrong.
When it comes to the Andrea Yates case, I 100% believe the woman should have been put to death. I've read about plenty of people who have been put to death for murder, some of them serial killers. By definition this woman is a serial killer. She murdered her five children for god sake, not to mention she planned it for over two years. Yes, her mind was deteriorating, and the whole fanatic priest didn't really help by telling her she was a horrible mother and her kids would rot in hell. But she choose to stop taking her anti psychotic meds, thanks to her stupid husband who wanted to have another child even have a professional psychologist said that she wouldn't be able to handle it. HELLO!!! The woman had been seeing shrinks repeatedly over the years, you think someone should have stopped and thought "Hey, maybe she shouldn't be around her kids, or have any more,". Talk about idiots who have no brain in their skull. And the fact this woman is free to walk round is not right, who's to say she won't kill some other kids she thinks are evil? Once a killer, always a killer, No matter the excuse.
