I am confused about what the new verdict for Andrea Yates will mean?

Question

I'm assuming she was already serving time in PRISON but they retried her to prove that she is insane? She's obviously insane.
But if she IS found insane will that mean that she goes free?
I think she would be better off in a mental facility rather than prison anyway because she is clearly ill, anyone who could systematically drown their 5 children, who ALL put up a struggle for their lives, is absolutely sick.
So what EXACTLY will the verdict mean for her --either way?

Also, how are the murders of only 2 of the children considered capitol crimes? Why not all 5 murders?

Answer 1

Should Ms. Yates be found innocent by reason of insanity, she would probably be sent to a mental facility and confined there until the doctors considered her to be healthy. If that occurred, she would be released.

I don't know why the murders were treated differently. It may have been because some piece of evidence was different.

Answer 2

xxxxxxxxxx Texas has annoying juries. that's no longer California. the female is psychotic. this is chillingly unnatural for a mom to kill her infants. If we gained't assume our mothers, then what? Wasn't there some insane religious attitude? She exchange into going to steer the infants into evil, so she had to kill them first, then they could circulate to heaven? The insanity argument cuts the two techniques. the female isn't in charge for her habit. which ability she will't administration herself. She is extremely risky. in line with risk she could be carried out besides. enable the indignant human beings have what they choose? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
